Add a Favorite Report to a Folder
While creating your new Favorite report, be sure to set the 'Assign to Folder' section before clicking Update to save your report to a specific folder. Note that you can create a new folder within this section as well to eliminate the need for any back and forth between pages or additional steps.
Changing Favorite Reports to a New Folder
The easiest way to move a Favorite report to a new folder is to locate that report from the My Favorites tab of the Reports page and simply drag and drop the report from the right side of the screen to the folder on the left side of the screen while the folder is in view.
Alternatively, you can change the folder while viewing the report itself by clicking on the yellow star icon and updating the 'Assign to Folder' section before clicking Update to save your changes. Note that you can create a new folder within this section as well to eliminate the need for any back and forth between pages or additional steps.
Now that you have your favorite Report created, head back to the Home page and add a new Data Card. To add a new Data Card please click on the plus sign (+). You will see an option "Favorite Report" that once selected will allow you to pick from any of the Reports that you favorited and indicated that you might want to use as a Data Card.
Select one of those Reports and it will immediately load in as a Data Card with a miniature visualization of the chart from that Report. This Report is your favorite Report. It's not a clone or a separate Report. It will maintain all the hierarchies, filters, and settings that you setup the favorite to have.
If you would like to learn more about the other options when saving a Favorite Report, please see below
- If you would like to display this report as a Data Card on your Home Page, select Yes. You will then be able to choose this report as one of your Data Cards from your Home Page.
- Do you want to automatically roll the time frame of the report each month? (This option only shows if you set a Specific Time Frame) If so, please review the following for a better understanding on how this works.
- If your report uses 'Specific Months' as the timeframe, this option will roll the month at the beginning of each new month. For example, if you created a report in October with the specific date time frame of November, when November 1st comes around the report will automatically roll to December.
- Another example, when you create a specific time frame of multiple months, when the next month rolls around, the oldest month will drop off and the new month will be added.
- Do you want to automatically roll the pacing date daily? (This option only shows if you run a Pacing Report)
- When using specific dates on the Pacing report for the 'Change Since' and 'Pacing Date', the dates will roll by 1 day, every day so for example you can set a change since two weeks ago if you desire.
- Do you want to automatically roll the Forecast as of date daily? (This option only shows if you run a Forecast Change Report)
- This will roll the 'Forecast as of' date by 1 day, every day so you can set this date for 2 or more weeks ago if you desire.
