  • Results of any change are implemented globally across the platform and affect all Users
  • Can delete self-created views
  • Can delete Views created by other users who have Visibility rights to the view

Folders

  • Can create new folders and set Visibility
  • Can [Run], [Customize]/[Save As] reports to a new folder, if the User has Visibility rights to the folder
  • User can edit any folder and move any report from Unfiled Reports Folder to Reports in this Folder list and save it and can change visibility control criteria
  • Can delete Folder(s), if the User has Visibility rights to the folder, except Default/System-Generated folders
  • Deleted folders and any reports contained in the folder are moved to the Unfiled Report Folder

  • Folder(s) created by the User
  • Folder(s) the User can access, as determined by Folder Visibility settings
  • [Save] replaces the original report
  • [Save As] makes a copy of the report to the selected folder
