Working With Reports
The Reports tab contains two screens. The Reports screen includes all available standard reports. The My Reports screen includes your saved and scheduled reports. You can use saved reports to run reports you run frequently with particular parameters. You do not have to set the parameters each time you want to run the report.
Reports
Three commands are available on the Reports screen.
- Run Report. Opens the parameters window where you can choose criteria for the report, run the report, or add the report to the My Reports list.
- View Last Run. Allows you to run the report using the same parameters used the last time you ran the report. The system updates the data so that the report reflects current information. Using this command does not allow changing the report parameters.
- Add to My Reports. Opens a page where you can define the report parameters you want to use with the saved report. You can also establish the report to be run on a specific schedule.
My Reports
Five commands are available on the
My Reports
screen.
- Run Report. Opens the parameters window where you can choose criteria for the report, run the report, or add the report to the My Reports list.
- View Report. Runs the report with the saved parameters.
- Edit. Opens a screen where you can change the report name, description, parameters, and scheduling criteria.
- Copy. Copies the selected report and opens the edit screen where you can change the report name, description, parameters, and scheduling criteria. The word "Copy" is appended to the original report name as report names must be unique.
- Delete. Prompts you to confirm that you wish to permanently delete the selected report. Select Yes to delete. Select No to cancel.
