You can only view and generate (run) reports you have been granted access to. Before generating a report, you will be able to change how the report displays (order of sort and group fields), add notes, and change the report name, if you wish. Your generated report has a unique ID number and is saved with a new file name. It is only accessible by you. If you have been granted access to the Report Subscription functionality and the original report was set as Subscribable, you can create a subscription for the generated report. (See Report Subscription for more information.)

  5. In Report Name, you can edit the name so it is more meaningful or easier to identify. Otherwise, the name of the original report will default.


  6. In Report Format, the dropdown list will allow you to select a pdf file download option instead of the default csv if this has been set by Admin. 
  7. The Search section contains the report's fields. Note - The availability of 'Search', 'Group By' and 'Sort By' fields for customisation will be different, depending on how each report has been designed. If options are available, select order preferences to determine how the generated report's data will be displayed.

  8. To generate the report, click the Generate button. The report will be downloaded to your computer. 

  9. Open the file to view it. 

  10. (optional) If this functionality is available to you and the original report, once the report is generated, the Subscribe button will be displayed. This allows you want to schedule a subscription task for the generated report.
