The following applies if you are using a version of the software before Update 12. For the latest information, see Configure reports.
You can relate methods, entry points, or reports to a reports feature set.
You can view the Reports feature set in Web Client by relating it with any one of the relevant methods, entry points, ad hoc reports, or summary reports.
Only a few reports are available in the Web Client by default.
To add a report to the report feature set, use the Manage Adhoc Reports method to relate it. For more information, see Expose Ad hoc reports in Web Client feature sets.
Reports are categorized by grouping and ordering for each and every feature set. For example, a document revision report is now available in the Documents feature set instead of the Reports feature set.
The following types of reports can be configured for use in the Web Client:
-
Saved reports to Excel, list views, and more from the Reports feature sets.
-
Summary report charts from tiles in the relevant feature sets.
-
