The BI Reporting Center is used to manage and launch all of the Business Intelligence reports in PMWeb. Default parameters can be configured here and custom reports can be added. Note that these settings can also be pushed out to users via the BI Reporting tab in Settings.
This tree displays all of the modules and BI reports that you have access to. Module folders are divided into "Forms" and "Reports" folders and the Portfolio folder also includes one for "Dashboards". Click on a report to load its details on the right side of the page. If you have the rights to do so, you can right click on folders to add or delete them and add or delete BI reports as well.
Printing Setup Tab - Use this tab to configure printing defaults for the report:
Report Field - Read only. The name of the report
Associate With Record Type Field - Select a record type from the list. With a record type selected here, parameters will automatically load when you launch the report from that record type, saving you time. Associating with a record type is most important for BI forms, which typically relate to a single record.
Default Checkbox - One, and only one, BI report can be designated the default for each record type. The default is automatically loaded when you open the Reports Preview Dialog from within a record.
Report Parameters Table - The fields that load here depend on the selection in the Associate With Record Type Field. In the table you can match report parameters to fields in the associated record (Use the PMWeb Field column) and enter default values.
Schedule Section - Use this section to automatically run this report Never, Daily, Monthly, or Weekly. The report can be sent to PMWeb users, PMWeb contacts, and any other email address you specify. The From field determines when the schedule starts running and the From field determines when it stops.
