By using report groups, certain reports can be explicitly released for specific users. As a rule, these users do not have the right to open the report management and therefore basically don't have the authorisation to create or edit reports. Here, the reports are created and configured by administrators and then released by assigning them to report groups. The user role of each user specifies which report groups the user has access to. The report groups to which one have access can be seen in the Quick Start Bar in the left panel under "start report". All reports in these groups, for which the report option "show in quick launch bar" (in the name tap of the report configuration) is set, appear here as a link under the respective group.
If a report group does not contain any reports with the option "show in quick launch bar", the whole report group does not appear in the list.
To run one of these reports, please click on the corresponding link. The reporting wizard will then open, allowing you to change certain parameters before the report is actually executed:
Which parameters you can change depends on the configuration of the report itself. There is an option, "can be changed during execution", on each configuration page of the report. If this option is set, the user can temporarily change respective settings within the reporting wizard, when executing the report. In the following example, the user can change the date range of the report, but only for this execution and not permanently:
Über den Button "Bildschirmvorschau" wird die Auswertung durchgeführt aber unabhängig vom festgelegten Ausgabekanal im Fenster des Auswertungs-Assistenten als Vorschau angezeigt. Sie können die angezeigte Auswertung auch als PDF oder als CSV Datei herunterladen. Bei CSV-Datei handelt es sich um den Tabelleninhalt der Auswertung ohne den Seiten-Header. Wenn Sie die Auswertung zum vordefinierten Ausgabekanal ausgeben möchten, wählen Sie bitte die Aktion "Sofort ausführen".
With the button "screen preview" the report is executed, but the displayed preview in the window of the report assistant is independent of the defined output channel. It is also possible to download the displayed report as a PDF or CSV file. The CSV file is the table content of the report without the page header. If you want to issue the report via the predefined output channel, please select the "execute immediately".
Zugriffsberechtigung auf Auswertungsgruppen und Auswertungs-Typen
Access authorisation to report groups and report types
Bei jedem Anwender ist über dessen Rolle definiert, welche Auswertungs-Typen der Anwender ausführen darf. Diese Rechteeinschränkung ist höher priorisiert als das Zugriffsrecht auf die Gruppen. Es kann also sein, dass Sie eine existierende Auswertung in der Schnellstartleiste nicht sehen, obwohl Sie Zugriffsrecht auf deren Gruppe haben.
Each user's role defines which reporting types the user may execute. This restriction of rights has a higher priority than the access right to the groups. It is therefore possible that you do not see an existing report in the quick launch bar, even though you have access rights to the group.
