Tips
Tip
If you create filters for a report that you will regularly generate, be sure to save it as a template under the Templates dropdown available on the page to automatically apply your report filtering settings from the previously generated report.
Tip
Some portal reports offer generation through Quick Reports, allowing faster load times with less recent data (up to 24 hours before the report generation). A checkbox is displayed to select whether to generate the report using Quick Reports or the Include all up-to-date data generation option, when available.
The report matrix at Available Portal Reports identifies which reports can use Quick Report generation option.
Tip
You can access your previously generated reports on the Report History page for a limited time. Each report shown on this page displays an expiration date indicating when it will no longer be available.
