Working with Reports

There may be times when a report you create will be useful to others in your organization. If that is the case, you can share your report with others, and they can run it from their Reports List. The process of sharing reports is the same for the different report types. You can share with individual Users, or Groups and Roles in the SAP SuccessFactors system.

You can use Report Center to add or remove favorite reports available on the Home page.

You can select your own favorite reports. You add reports by selecting the star to the left of the report name.

You can then view and open your reports from the Home page using the View Favorite Reports tile. When the tile is selected, the tile provides a list of starred (favorite) reports. Selecting the report from the tile launches the report in Report Center.

Custom labels provide a method to organize reports within the Report Center. Labels help users find the reports they are looking for and to group common reports. You can create groups of labels as well. This allows the reports to be organized in a hierarchical display if required.

You can filter reports by the assigned label. If you created nested labels, you can set the Report Center to display the reports as grouped, displaying the labels at the top of the report list. You can then navigate the label hierarchy to view reports in that label.

You can use the View options to choose how to display your reports in Report Center:

• Reports: The reports are displayed as a simple list. The labels of a report appear beneath the name of the report. The order of the reports is configurable by Report Name, Author, Last Modified Date, and Report Type.
• Labels: The reports are consolidated into labels. Each label can be collapsed or expanded. Within an expanded label, the order of the reports is configurable by Report Name, Author, Last Modified Date, and Report Type.
