Prerequisites

• To access the Report Definitions view, you need to assign the Report Definitions - Add privilege to your user role.

The Report Definitions view displays the report definitions that exist at the current scope level. You can add, edit, and delete report definitions from this view.

You cannot delete a report definition that is used in a reporting job. For more information, see Reporting Jobs view (on page 1).

In addition, you can use the following options in the Actions menu to:

• Export SNX File: Export the selected report definitions as an XML file using the snx.xsd format.

• Run Report: Run a report using the selected report definition.

• Report Analyzer: Run the Report Analyzer to return the count of synthetic fields, database-backed fields, and metafield IDs along with the report query and report output type in a separate window to identify whether the report hydrates data. This option helps you tweak the report to receive better performance trade-offs. You can use the Report Analyzer action only for reports that do not accept any user input (parameters).

• Duplicate Report Def (on page 1): Duplicate the selected report definition to create another report definition. Click to view the changes made by the Duplicate Report Def action.

Selecting multiple report definitions disables the options in the Actions menu.
