Running standard reports

  1. Under Birst Reports > Operational Reports, select the report that you want to run.
  2. Specify the selection parameters for the report.
    The parameters that are available depend on the report that is being run.

    See Report selection parameters.

  3. Click Go.
    If you did not select No from the Show Parameters list, the selection parameters are displayed at the top of the report. The columns and rows that are shown depend on the report type and the parameters that you selected.

    You can use these buttons:

    Go back to report parameters selection page
    Returns to the Selection Parameters page. The report parameters are preserved so you can rerun the report (and retrieve the most current data) without re-entering all the parameter values.
    Note: If you selected All for a parameter value, a blank value is displayed when you return to the Selection Parameters page. A blank value is the same as All.
    Run Report as HTML
    Views the report in HTML format.

    When you view a multi-page report in HTML format, clicking the Bottom link might cause the page numbers to display incorrectly. We recommended that you use the Page down links instead.

    Run Report as PDF
    Views the report in PDF format.
    Run Report as Excel
    Views the report in Microsoft Excel format.
    Note: You must open the Microsoft Excel file before saving it to your computer for the file to function properly. If you are presented with the option of either opening or saving the Microsoft Excel file, open the report first, and then save it.
