Modify Reports

You can modify the parameters of a saved report. Use the information displayed in the Reports tab to help assess the impact of your changes. For example, you can determine if you've shared your report with other users or if templates have reports associated with them. Once you've changed the scope, regenerate the report. The report title is displayed in red italic to indicate a change has occurred. You can save your changes or just close the report to retain the original scope.

To modify a saved report

  1. Use Search to find a report or a dashboard by name. Search is case insensitive, supports partial entries, and will display a list of potential matches.

    As you enter the report or dashboard name in the Search field, up to 10 potential matches are displayed. If the report or dashboard is shown, you can select and run it directly from the match list. You can also select All Items to display the full search results page.

    You can use the Reports tab to browse through the IT Analytics reports. The reports are displayed by product.

    See Templates, reports, and dashboards overview.

  2. Select the report and click Run. Double-clicking also runs the report.
  3. Click Actions menu and select Edit Scope.
  4. Change the report parameters, then click Regenerate.
  5. Save the changes to update the report with the new scope. You can also:
    • Close the report to discard the scope changes and retain the original scope

    • Select Save As from the Actions menu to save the new scope under a new name.

    See Save Reports.
