List area (Report list)

The list area shows all the reports that are available for you to use.

• Reports can be Public reports or My reports. Use the tabs to choose which reports you want to show.
• Public reports are provided for everyone to use. My reports are your own saved reports. They only appear if you have signed in. (See Sign in.)
• My reports allows you to perform tasks such as sorting, searching, rearranging, editing report information, creating new folders, and creating your own reports. First select a folder or report, and then click a button on the toolbar. See Report list help.
• To open a report, click its name.
  • You can also open a report directly from a URL (web address), without having to sign in to a Perspective site first. This makes it easy to share reports with others. See Open a report from a URL.
• Reports can appear as tables, charts, drillthrough (or microdata) reports, or RS (Microsoft Reporting Services) reports. Each has its own icon:
  • Table
  • Chart
  • Drillthrough
  • Microdata
  • RS report
• Reports may be contained in folders. To open or close a folder, click its plus or minus sign.
• Folders can be subfolders of other folders. To open or close all folders at once, do one of the following:
  • Click the "Expand all" and "Collapse all" buttons on the toolbar.
  • Select View menu> Expand all or View menu> Collapse all.
• An "info" icon next to a report or folder indicates that an Information page exists for the report or data source. See View a report definition.
