Defining a report’s name, access, type, and option
Issue 3.0 May 2002
35
Define the user ID
Enter the user ID of the owner of the report. The default is your user ID. If you are a CMS
administrator, you can enter another user’s ID if you want to create a custom report for that
user. Do this if you want only that user to be able to run the report.
Note:
If you want to list another user’s existing custom reports, you can enter that
user’s ID and do a
List All.
You do not have to be an administrator to
list other users’ custom reports.
Define access to the report
Enter an
x
to select a report access option, either
global
or
private
.
Note:
It is a good idea to make your reports private until they have been debugged
and run successfully. This prevents the possibility of other users from
running reports you have saved but not yet tested.
Global
access to the report gives other users the following capabilities:
●
Other users can run the report
●
Other users can copy the report design when designing their own custom report
See
Copying an existing report design
on page 45 for more information
If you select
global
, your report's name must be different from the name of any other
custom report — global or private.
Private
access to the report means that only you and the CMS administrators can run
the report. No other users, except for CMS administrators, can copy or run the report
design for use in their own custom reports.
If you select
private
, your report's name must be different from the names of the
following:
●
Any other private report you have created of the same type
●
Any user's global custom report of the same type
Note:
No other CMS user, other than a CMS administrator, can modify a report
design you create, regardless of whether the report is global or private. A
CMS administrator always has the ability to modify your report design, even
if you make it private.
