Templates in Report Builder

This article provides information on our Report Builder Templates, that customers with our Report Builder product can access and copy to create reports.

This article provides information on our Report Builder Templates, that customers with our Report Builder product can access and copy to create reports. Our Report Builder Templates are a great way to start a new report. The templates allow the user to clone the template and then adjust the new report based on the fields, filters, etc. that are needed for your report. 

  • To clone the template, click edit for the template and immediately click SAVE AS.  Add a new name for your new report, click OK, and then make your edits in the new report.  Please do not use any special characters in your report names.  When special characters are in the name the report will initially save, but will not allow any updates.  We've seen this occur with apostrophes, brackets, parenthesis, etc.   Best practice is to never add special characters in the report name.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Agency Admins can Save or Save As within any Report Builder report, so they do have the ability to change the templates we have created. We HIGHLY recommend that Agency Admins always do a Save As, and not a Save, and create a brand-new report from our template. This process will keep the report templates as we have created them.    

 

Report Names are as follows. The report #’s will vary, based on your server, so you will search by name. We list the tabs and fields each report uses below. Each report has a sample that can be viewed by clicking the download icon, under the Options section, on the My Reports page.

 

Click on the report link below to be taken directly to that area on the page.
