Create a List of Reports

With the large number of standard reports available in B2C Service, it can be challenging to understand what each report provides. Using the View Report Descriptions report in the Report Management component, you can generate listings of column and report output definitions for any standard or custom reports.

While the Analytics Administrator profile permission is required to run any of the reports in Report Management, you can export, print, or publish the output so other staff members can view the report descriptions. See How You Distribute Reports and Dashboards.

Note: Report output definitions are preconfigured for standard reports. For information about adding descriptions to custom reports, see Display Output Descriptions.

1. Click Analytics on the navigation pane and then double-click Report Management.
   Because you can add this component to any navigation button in your navigation set, you may need to click another navigation button to access it.
2. Expand the Definition folder and then double-click View Report Descriptions.
   The Search window opens.
3. Select the reports you want to include in the output.
   By default, all reports are selected, but since this is a required filter, you need to specify the reports you’re interested in. You can select all the reports in a top-level folder by selecting the check box next to the folder.
4. Click Search to run the report.
   The report descriptions are displayed on the content pane.
5. To see a report’s column descriptions and expressions, click the Details link in the View column.
