3.5. Editing a Simple Report

Last Updated 05/17/2023


How to Edit a Simple Report

To edit a report, select a report from My Reports and choose Edit from the Actions Menu, or double-click on the report you want to edit. Make changes as needed and select Save and Schedule Report once you’ve made all of your changes.

Note: The edited report will not run (or be scheduled to run) if you just select Save. You must select Save and Schedule Report in order to execute the report.

Editing a report will overwrite the old report and generate new report output, but you will still be able to see your old pre-edit report output in the My Outputs tab.

  • If you edit the Report name, this name change will be reflected on past outputs as well - however, the name change may not be reflected on any HTML outputs.

  • Due to extant Reports architecture, it’s possible for the report name and output names to drift if you re-run reports or change their names after the fact.

  • If you edit the report recurrence interval, all report runs from that point forward will use the new recurrence interval.
