To show all reports

To show all reports, click Reports in the navigator.

In the Reports page you will find a list displaying all reports with their names, an optional description and a navigator toggle.

Reports

To open a report, click on its name in the report list. The report details will be displayed.

Use the toggle in the Show in navigator column, if you want to show the report more prominently on the first level in the navigator. If the toggle is turned on, the report will immediately appear in the navigator.

Report in navigator

See To create a report below for details on how to configure the position in the navigator.

To create a report

  1. Click Add report in the top menu bar to open the Add report dialog.
    Add report
  2. In the Menu label field, enter a name for the report and optionally provide a description below.
  3. Select Show in navigator if you want the report to be displayed in the navigator. Select the position of the report in the navigator. Depending on the value it will be positioned relative to the existing items. If for example “Home” has the value “10000” it will be positioned above “Home”, if the value is “10001” or higher.
  4. In the Layout section you can select a theme for the report (one of “Light”, “Dark”, “Transparent” or “Branded”) and a default header style for the widgets (one of “Regular”, “Border”, “Overlay”, or “Hidden”). Moreover, you can change the default widget margin (default value is 12 px). If you enable the option Translate widget titles if possible, the widget title will be translated every time the language is changed. Note that the widget titles will be translated only if a valid translation is available. Click Save to create the report and add it to the report list.

In the Preview section at the right, a preview of the selected layout settings is immediately displayed to visualize your selections.

Next, widgets can be added to the report.
