About saving reports
You can save reports for others to see in the Reports & Charts area for a table if the manager of the app has granted you permission to do so.
When you save this type of shared or common report, so that others can see it, you have several choices:
-
Everyone. Everybody can see the report in the panel.
-
Users in my role. Users who have my role can see the report in the panel.
-
Users in specific roles. Users in any of the chosen roles can see the report in the panel.
-
No one; hide it. The report doesn't appear in the panel until you say otherwise. To see the report, create a bookmark in your browser.
If your report is personal, choose Only me. Only you can see the report in the panel. You can't ever list it for other users. You can still let others open it by sending them links
An app manager can also specify which reports a particular role can see at any time. To learn how, see
Specifying which reports a user can see.
