Report type: List

ParameterValuemanual_labor`true`form`list`queryencoded queryfield_listcomma separated list of fields you wanttype`list`table`table`A few things to note;

`sys_report_template.do?sysparm_field_list=variables.71cba0540f5fb600503c590be1050ec0&sysparm_type=list&sysparm_table=sc_req_item&sysparm_from_list=true&sysparm_chart_size=large&sysparm_manual_labor=true&sysparm_query=cat_item%3Dc9d980750f437200503c590be1050e8a%5Ecat_item%3Dc9d980750f437200503c590be1050e8a`
