  3. When you have located the report or dashboard you want to run, select the report name.

Note

Dashboards that have not been scheduled must be manually refreshed to see the latest data. Select Refresh to pull the latest data into the dashboard. To schedule a refresh, select Subscribe, then select a refresh schedule for your dashboard. Reports automatically use the latest data when they are opened.

Using a report

You can modify the information displayed in a report using the buttons on the page:

  • Toggle Chart: toggle a chart on and off

  • Chart Properties: adjust the way the chart is displayed, including changing the chart's axis, stacking, or "sliced by" values

  • Filters: adjusts settings for the report's filters. Any filters in the report can be changed to include or exclude matching information.

  • Search: perform a text search on the displayed report to highlight the text string you have entered.

  • Display options: Change the table display options at the bottom of the page.
