Working in the Reports window:
When working in the Reports window, you can:
- Use the Reports toolbar to perform most report-related tasks, such as running reports or report batches, importing and exporting reports, creating or modifying reports with the Report Wizard, modifying reports with the Report Editor, and managing report groups and batches.
- Use the Tools menu on the Menu bar to manage report groups and batches, and to create or modify reports using the Report Wizard.
- Use the shortcut (right-click) menu to run the selected report, run a batch report, import and export reports, modify the selected report with the Report Editor, set display options for the window, and cut, copy, and paste reports.
- Use the Display Options bar, View menu on the Menu bar, or the Layout toolbar to group, sort, and filter reports.
Tips
- After opening the Reports window, the window remains open until you close it; if you open or navigate to another window without closing the Reports window, click the Reports tab to return to the window at any time.
- The Report Scope column and field displays either Global or Project. You can run Global reports for any project. You can run Project reports for the open project only.
- To quickly move a report into a different report group, right-click on the report and choose Cut, then right-click on a report group row in the table and choose Paste.
- Reports created or modified using the Report Wizard display this symbol
next to the report name. Reports created or modified using the Report Editor display this symbol 
next to the report name.
Notes
- If resource security is enabled, you may have restricted access to resources. Global reports with restricted resource access do not display information about resources outside your root resource node.
- If resource security is enabled and a global filter for reports contains a resource you do not have access to, the field appears blank. Running these reports either ignores the blank field (in case of OR) or returns no result (in case of AND).
