The following steps will guide you through the key functions of the Reports tab, including searching for reports, running saved reports, and using report icons. 

Step 1: Search for reports by keyword

  1. Either Create an Ad Hoc report or locate an existing report by entering a keyword and clicking Search.  

  1. Review results under Available Reports to find matching reports.

Step 2: Run a saved report

  • To run a saved Ad Hoc Report or a standard report, click the report name from any portlet where it is listed.

  • You will be directed to the filter screen, where you can refine and run the report. 

Step 3: Use report icons 

Report icons appear when you hover over a report name in the Report Library or My Ad Hoc Reports portlet. Icons provide quick actions, though not all icons are available for every report. 

 

For example: 

  • Standard reports display only three icons: preview, add to favorites, and tag.
  • Ad Hoc reports may also display icons for creating a one-click report (mouse icon) or a scheduled report (calendar icon). 

Helpful tip: Once a report has been run, the mouse and calendar icons appear in the Report Library, allowing you to quickly schedule or save as a one-click report.
