Saving Reports

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to save reports in SAP SuccessFactors Learning.

Saved Reports Tab

The Saved Reports tab allows you to save reports for future use. You can save the settings and filters you used for a report so that you can easily access and reuse it later without having to reestablish them.

Save Reports

To easily save a report, complete the following steps:

  1. Find the report you need.
  2. If the report is part of a group, select the plus sign to expand the group.
  3. Select the report to open it.
  4. Select formatting options and fill in the search criteria.
  5. Select the SAVE Report button.
  6. Enter a SAVED report ID and description.
  7. Submit your report.

Location of the Save Report button is highlighted on the bottom of the image.

Saved reports are only visible to the Administrator who created them and cannot be shared with others. To save a report, you need to provide a unique ID and description for it.

When you save a report, you are essentially saving the parameters and filters you used when running the report. It's a good idea to use specific criteria like filters, as it will make it easier to find and use the saved report later.
