Overview

 

If you find yourself running Standard Reports, Report Writers, Analyzers, and Dashboards with the same parameters, you can save the parameters as a template. Templates may also be used to standardize reporting parameters in the enterprise. All Users select the same options when running the various reports.

 

After choosing the filter parameters from the Selecting Report Parameters dialog box or the Selecting Report Writer/Analyzer/Dashboards Parameters dialog, click on 'Save Template' to create a Template. Once a Template has been created it becomes available to the selected Review Templates. A template created in a Global context is only available in the Global context. Templates created through the Review Templates Reporting is available to all Review Templates.
