Generating an RTM from Quality Center

I have been asked to look at a (large) project that has imported their
requirements from RequisitePro into Quality Center and who has
generated a large number of Test Sets. I would like a comprehensive
RTM that shows, in a grid view, the following

Requirement Id, Name (text), Test Set, Test Name, <instance Id>, Status

After staring at things for a couple of hours (and rereading the
documentation), I am having a hard time doing this from the standard
reports. I can't seem to get a report that associates Requirement
Id/Name to Test Set/Test Name. What am I missing?

--Thank you,

Sorry, what is an RTM? I never heard this acronym before. One similar
which I know is RTFM...

In QC, you can start with a requirement report and then, in the
customization dialog, add sub-reports. You can only add test set
subreports as children of test (sub)reports.

You can also decide to report directly from the underlying database,
using your favorite database access tool. (If you can manage to get read
access to the db.) But again, you will soon find out that you can get
the test set data only by using the test table.

This has its reason in the underlying data structures.
Requirements are related to tests, test sets contain tests, and
reporting has to follow these pathes.

So, if you want to create a report which associates requirements with
test sets, you have to connect them by tests.
