Run Reports - Data and Analytics

Overview

D&A reports are located in Public Folders. The folders and reports you are able to view and run are dependent upon your access rights. Within D&A there are pre-defined reports which pull specific information to create a single report. Each report has built-in flexibility to allow you to select the criteria you want to use to access your report. The criterion you may select is dependent upon the report. Make these selections using the Prompts Panel. The Prompts Panel is divided into two main sections. The Prompts List contains the prompts that are used in accessing the selected report. One or more prompts may be listed. The Value List contains the selectable values for the prompts in the Prompts List. All required prompts must be completed before a Query can be run.
