Report Name

Name of the new memorized report.
Report Group

You can choose whether to save the memorized report under an existing report group or create a new group from scratch.

  • Report Owner: By default, the signed-in user is the owner of reports, but you can change that here. Other users cannot delete or customize the memorized reports as you are the owner of those reports. You can make only employee or vendor who is a CORE user as a report owner.
  • Sharing Options: Check Private if you do not want to share this report with others. Not only does that keep the overall list of such reports short, it also ensures that sensitive reports are secure and hidden from others.

    Choose Public if you want to share this report with all other CORE users.

    Choose to Share with specific users by selecting them from the drop-down. These have to be employees or vendors who are CORE users.

Note: Even if you share the memorized reports by making them public, others cannot delete or customize them as long as you are the owner of those reports.
