New report setting

A new report setting is the configuration surface where you arrange report tabs, widgets, and report-view options. A report tab groups related widgets in that view.

This page covers the fields, workflow uses, and save-related outcomes for the new-setting surface.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you can open /configuration/reports-settings/new and that the page is in edit mode. When the page is editable, Widget, Tab, Save, and Save and Close are available. No field is marked as required on the page. After you change the page, leaving may open a confirmation prompt.

Find the new report-setting page

The new report-setting page is /configuration/reports-settings/new. Use the Reports settings list to find a saved setting, and use the edit page to maintain one that already exists.

Understand the report-setting screen

The screen combines report-content controls with two option readouts.

The available options are the names assigned to saved report views from other roles.

The page displays the current values for Editable prev. months and Time Frame. The page showed Widget, Tab, Save, and Save and Close.

The page does not mark these controls as required. The tab choices also include inactive entries for Principals Report and Eagle View; they are not available actions.

Check Editable prev. months, Time Frame, and the four available buttons.
