Report Portal Screen

Security Note:

The current user will be able to see only the reports that they have permission to view. For example, if a user has access privileges to just the Accounting department, they would not have access to reports created for those at higher organizational levels. Access levels were set up at the Security tab in the Directory database.

Using the current user's email address, the Report Portal screen contains a table that displays reports created for that user. When a user enters the Report Portal, the reports displayed are only those they have permission to view.

Accessing the Report Portal

Note: The Report Portal option appears on the Reports/Exports menu screen only when the current user has reports available at the Report Portal.
