View system reports in the Reports dashboard

  • Article

Permissions Management has various types of system report types available that capture specific sets of data. These reports allow management to:

  • Make timely decisions.
  • Analyze trends and system/user performance.
  • Identify trends in data and high risk areas so that management can address issues more quickly and improve their efficiency.

Explore the Reports dashboard

The Reports dashboard provides a table of information with both system reports and custom reports. The Reports dashboard defaults to the System Reports tab, which has the following details:

  • Report Name: The name of the report.

  • Category: The type of report. For example, Permission.

  • Authorization Systems: Displays which authorizations the custom report applies to.

  • Format: Displays the output format the report can be generated in. For example, comma-separated values (CSV) format, portable document format (PDF), or Microsoft Excel Open XML Spreadsheet (XLSX) format.

    • To download a report, select the down arrow to the right of the report name, or from the ellipses (...) menu, select Download.

      The following message displays across the top of the screen in green if the download is successful: Successfully Started To Generate On Demand Report.
