View a Report

Overview

Before a report can be viewed, an administrator must create and add it to a view in an application. Some Report filters rely on the current user's time zone. Some users from different time zones may see different data in the same Report. See the Time Zone Conversions on Reports article for more information.


User Account Requirements

The data you can view in a Report depends on your role's permissions and the Report's configurations in the administrative settings.
