You’re confusing two different types of reports. The passage you cite in the
Operations Guide refers to the ‘built-in’ reports that are included in
rdlogedit(1). The design pattern for those types of reports (several other
modules have them is well) is simply to operate on the current context of the
module and display its results using the selected report viewer (as specified
in the ‘Report Editor’ field RDAdmin->ManageHosts->[hostname]. OTOH, the Wiki
page entry is referring to ‘as played’ reports, which are designed to be highly
configurable and can configured to automatically generate on a set schedule.

Agreed that some overarching discussion about reports in general, including the
fact that there are two different basic types, would be a Good Thing. A section
in the ‘Rivendell Administration’ section that discusses configuring (as
opposed to merely using) such would good too.
