Show report
To populate a report with data from your environment:
From any list view (All reports, Report files, or Scheduled reports), select the name of the report.
The Report detail view appears.
Populate the report with current or cached data from your environment.
To populate the report with the current data from your environment, select Show report.
To populate the report with cached data from your environment, select Show cached report.
Note
The report can only be populated with cached data if caching is enabled, see Enable or disable caching.
To refine the data populated in a report, use the filtering features available in the report criteria panel. See: Change report criteria.
Enable or disable caching
Some reports can take a long time to run. Use the cache reports functionality to run the reports from a cache instead of from the live database. This will enable you to run reports faster.
To enable or disable caching for a single report:
On the context menu for the report, select Enable caching or Disable caching
To enable or disable caching for several reports at the same time, see Reports cache.
Change report criteria
Filtering reports is an ideal way to refine the amount of data running a report extracts from the system. In a Report detail view, create filters by adding conditions or groups of conditions in the Report criteria panel.
Hide/collapse this panel by selecting the
icon, and show/expand it by selecting the
icon.
Create refinement conditions by using the pre-populated dropdown menus. The contents of this menu depend on the report you are filtering and operators, such as like and not equals to in turn depend on whether you have selected a parameter that is text or a number. Boolean logic applies. For complex filtering create groups of conditions.
Icon | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Add a new group of conditions. | |
| Remove both the group and all conditions within that group. | |
| Add a new condition, within or outside a group. You can also create nested conditions. | |
 | Remove a condition. |
When applying operators, use % for wildcard characters.
To remove filtering:
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Set default | NoteThis option applies to user-modified reports only. It does not apply to standard reports. Sets the default for the report to the current conditions. |
Reset | Reverts to the default filter. If no default has been set, all conditions will be cleared. |
Clear | Removes all displayed conditions. |

Save report
Saving a report, saves the configuration of the report, including columns and filtering; it does not save the data from your system. For example, if you modify the standard Compliance summary report and save it as My Compliance Summary, every time you open My Compliance Summary, your modified columns and filtering will display, and running Show report will cause the columns to be populated with the most recent data from your system.
In a Report detail view, select Save report from the context
menu.The Save report dialog box appears.
In the dialog, you can change the Name and Description fields for the report.
Select Group name from the list, or type a new group name.
If you are saving the configuration of a user-modified report, the Save as new checkbox will appear on the dialog. Leave this checkbox clear if you want to override your existing settings for this user-modified report. To create a new configuration, check the Save as new box.
Click Save.
The report configuration will show in the top section of the All Reports view below the group name you selected, or among ungrouped reports if you have not specified a group name.
Delete report
You can delete a report if the delete icon appears next to the name of a report. You can delete reports you (the signed-in user) have created. It is not possible, for example, to delete Standard reports or Shared reports created by another user.
