Search Reports
Use the Search Reports page to locate published reports and previously saved report criteria. Generate a list of your organization's saved report criteria and published reports and then display it in one place. From the Search Reports Search Results display, directly edit or run saved criteria or view published reports, or easily delete (one at a time or en masse) unwanted report criteria and published reports.

To include reports that have never been run, select the Include never run reports check box.
Notes:If you select Include never run reports and you also specify Report run date values, then the Search Results will show both the reports that meet the Last run date criteria and the reports that have never been run.
The Include never run reports option would be considered only if you select the All or Edit/Run report Type option (because you cannot View a report unless it has been run).
- Click Search.
Search Reports Search Results
All reports that meet the search criteria are listed. The list is grouped by Type - Edit/Run and View. Within each Type, the list of reports is then grouped by Report Category (library). And, within each Report Category, the list will be grouped by Report Group.
Example: The saved report criteria for all of your organization's Biographical Mobile reports will be listed under Edit/Run - Biographical Reports - Mobile. Your organization's published Biographical Mobile reports will be listed under View - Biographical - Mobile.
