Report store output paths

Each of the output paths created on the Report Store tab, is available as a lookup at run-time.

Default

The default output path is set to /$MyReports/. If left at this default, you can leave the run-time output path parameter blank and reports are stored in the top level of the personal My Reports folder.

You can also create sub-folders within the personal folder and, at run time, you can direct the output to the $MyReports/Sub-folder name by amending the output path at run-time or presetting it using a linked report.

Dynamic output paths

A number of dynamic macros can be used to define the destination of stored reports. These can be preset at report design time, be customized for personal use in a linked report, or amended at run-time. Dynamic paths must be used with care as they are generated at run-time if they do not exist.

1

To run a burst report and output to an individual folder for each customer's account within the business unit, set the report output path to /$BusinessUnit/$KeyValue.

If the business unit folder is not created and secured before the report is run, all users can view the output.

2

To run a report as per example 1 but keeping a history of each run in separate folders and creating a sub folder for Customer Reports before hand, set the report output path to /$BusinessUnit/Customer Reports/$KeyValue/$BatchID.
