Global report settings

Use the Global Report Settings node in the Reports Manager to specify the defaults used when showing reports. The information entered on this page varies depending on the reporting tool being used. The global settings are grouped in these sections:

Birst

These are the global settings for Birst reports:

Birst Base Url: Specify the base URL for Birst.
Birst Root Report Path: Specify the root path for Birst Designer reports. The default is shared\.
Birst Root Dashboard Path: Specify the root path for Birst dashboards. The default is Collection\.
Web Service Username: Specify the user name for Birst.
Web Service Password: Specify the password for Birst.
Birst Spaces: Specify one or more Birst spaces in the grid.
For each space you must specify a description, the space ID, and the SSO password. The space ID and the SSO password can be found under Admin > Manage Space > Modify Properties in Birst.

Note: In an on-premises environment, employees' email addresses are used for their Birst user names. To view Birst dashboards in Infor Operations and Regulations, each user must have an email address (on the associated employee record), and this must match the email address used in Birst.

This is not required in a multi-tenant environment. In that case, users' IDs are passed to Birst automatically.

General

This section contains settings for all report types.

Report File Export Path: Specify where report output files will be saved. Users require Write permission on this directory, because they will be creating new files when they export reports.
Default Path for File System Report Files: Specify the default path for file system reports in the field.
Arrange in alphabetical order: Select for reports to be listed alphabetically on each page.

URL Reports

This section defines global settings for URL reports.

Default URL for URL reports: Specify the URL used to show reports. Select Enter URL and specify a URL, or select Select PreConfigured URL and select the URL from a drop-down list. The list shows all URLs that have been specified for existing reports in the Reports Manager.
