Report Storage
There are three distinct areas where reports are stored in the site:
Prepackaged Reports – This is the area where out of the box, system generated reports are stored. You may use any report as a starting point however you cannot save over a report or save a copy of a report in the prepackaged report folder.
Personal Workspace – This is the area where you can save reports and access them at a later time and you are the only person who has access. All reports saved to your personal workspace are just that, personal. The system will always default you to save reports to this area.
Public Reports – This is the area where any report saved is available to any user. Only the owner of the report may save changes to a report in the public reports folder, however you are free to open and modify any report, you will just need to save a copy of it.
