The Report History page

After you run a report, you have the option of explicitly saving the output. Saved output is permanently available on the Report History page until you delete it. If you did not save the output, it will remain available on the Report History page until the temp directory where the files are stored becomes too full. At that point the older reports are purged to make room for new; the timing depends on how many reports have been recently run and their size.

You can navigate to the Report History page to view the output for:

  • a specific report that has been previously run by selecting the report definition in the Reports List page and choosing Actions > View Run History

  • all recently run reports by clicking the Report History button at the top of the Reports List page

Either of the above methods brings you to the Report History page, with report outputs displayed in reverse chronological order.
