The delimiter ‘:’ in the example is the system delimiter stored in the behavior setting named DEFAULT_TEXT_REPORT_DELIMITER.
The typical use of this command is to retrieve a list of available public and private reports, to present these as a menu and allow the user to select which report he is going to run with the run_report function.
There are two main sections returned, a list of private: and a list of public: reports.
Within each of these sections, each report is shown with four values, separated by the DEFAULT_TEXT_REPORT_DELIMITER and specified as:
1. Report ID – a numeric identifier for the report
2. Title – the title of the report
3. Type – One of the following types:
