Viewing existing report outputs

In this section Hide

A report output is the result of applying a report definition to the cases in a selected case series or found by a query, and saving the result. A report output is static. If there is a change in a report definition or the set of cases against which the report was run to produce the output, you can run the report again and save another report output.

When you run a report, you can name and save the output. You can view the saved output without any need to rerun the report. Once report output is saved, it remains available until you explicitly delete it. Modification or deletion of the report definition, or of the case series or query on which the report was based, do not affect the saved report output.

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 If you have the Administer Users permission, the page also lists published and unpublished report outputs created by any users in your login group.
