Custom report templates can be saved and run at any time.
Each time a saved report is run, it returns the latest data from the current
Workspace. Reports
can be saved for personal use and for other Workspace members. Access
to saved reports is defined by a user's RoleA user type assigned to one or more users to define permissions. Both built-in roles and custom roles can be assigned to users. Examples of built-in roles include Agent, Customer Read/Submit, and Workspace Administrator..
Instructions on creating and saving report templates
can be found in Custom Reports.
Shared Reports
Report templates can be shared with other FootPrints
users:
Shared/Internal
Reports appear on the Saved
Reports page for Agents in the Workspace who have access to Shared
Reports. An
Agent whose role restricts him or her to seeing only his own Issues or
his Team's Issues only sees those Issues that match the criteria of the
report and that he is allowed to see.
Shared/Public
Reports are also available to customers, but such reports only
contain data the customer is allowed to see (either his or her own Issues
or those of the Organizational Unit).
Instructions on creating and saving report templates
can be found in Custom Reports. Each
time a saved report template is run, it returns the latest matching data.
