Saving reports

0
Dawn Borg Costanzi (26●5●4) | asked Apr 07 '08, 5:28 a.m.
Is there any way to save a report in its current state? I have tried to save a report through the Jazz Web UI, but this gets updated as the data in the warehouse changes. I, on the other hand, would like to be able to view the report displaying exactly the same information as it did when I chose to save, is this possible?

Thanks,
Dawn

Hi Dawn,

At the moment, this isn't really possible. One of our high-priority
post-1.0 items will be to allow you to take a "snapshot" of a report, to
save it for later. This would have two benefits: first, you can
re-create reports which you can't right now, and second, the performance
benefits of not actually having to compute the report again.

As a workaround, starting in M6, it is possible to export reports to a
variety of formats, including PDF. You can then reference this PDF file
later - it's not really a solution for the problem but it might get you
what you want in the short term.

Hope this helps.

Hello,
I did not find any documentation but it is quiet easy.
There is an icon for exporting reports.
Run a report, click on the first icon near the Button "Save As..."
Select the format and you will get the report with name Report.<extension depending what format is selected>
I tried it with the Web UI and it worked fine.

Hope this helps.

Check out the New and Noteworthy for reports in M6 - it describes this
functionality, but Elisabeth captured it pretty well.

Yes right. It is in the New and Noteworthy for M6. I thought I was looking there but I actually I was looking in M5 as the download page was linked to M5 this afternoon.

Dawn, to be sure you get the right version you can use the following link:

Thanks James for the update.
