View existing report definitions

A report definition specifies:

  • Which variables from the source data appear as columns in the report, and how they are broken down based on other variables.
  • Which variable or combination of variables provide unique keys for the report. There is one row in the report for each unique key value (or key value combination).
  • How to aggregate multiple values in individual cells.
  • The subset of rows that appear in the report, based on conditions specified by a SQL WHERE clause.

For the selected project and data configuration, the Report Definitions page lists report definitions that you created or that are published to you. If you have the Administer Users permission, the page also lists unpublished report definitions that were created by any user in your login group.

The Report Definitions page lists reports based on data configurations that are compatible with the data configuration used by the selected case series.
