It’s not possible to create an actual UI form in ALM like what you might be looking for. There are opportunities within workflow here to create a new tab and populate that with fields + workflow + toolbar buttons to get close.
Creating an actual form with your requirements can be done using one of the API’s (REST or OTA) and there you can accomplish pretty much anything including access to the database, reporting, etc. Alas, this is outside the ALM GUI.
A third but messy approach is to use a single prompt approach in workflow using the input() function. This would allow you to get and process a single prompt at a time and then run SQL to get the info from the database as needed for the report.
While this last approach (using workflow) can be a bit involved you keep the user in the ALM GUI, add toolbar buttons to call the function, access to all the tables and other elements are available. With a little ‘creative coding anything you can access or run from the API’s can be replicated in workflow – just not the ability to generate a custom form.
