Set the .reportPath property of your report viewer. See the [Report Viewer documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Report+Viewer). Consider taking the _ **free** _ [Reporting in Ignition Course](https://inductiveuniversity.com/course/reporting-in-ignition/) from Inductive University.

No. The viewer can only display one report at a time, and it’s print function only prints that one. If you want to run and print multiple reports without looking at them, consider using [system.report.\*](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/system.report) scripting to generate them instead.
