Set default report options

As an administrator, you can add default report options that are applied whenever a new report is created. Adding default report options does not apply the changes to existing reports. You can modify the options on reports without affecting the default option settings. You can also set an existing report back to the default settings by clicking the Reset to default link on the Other tab of the Report Options dialog box.

Role permissions are as follows:

Actions	Administrator	Power user	Business analyst (View-only)
Set	X
Reset	X	X
Remove	X

Perform the following steps to set a default report option:

1. Open the report you want to modify.

2. Select the More actions and options button, then click Report Options.

   The Report Options dialog box displays.

3. Enter the new default options in the Report Options dialog box and select Set as default for all reports.

   The Alert dialog box displays and gives you the option of canceling your changes.

4. Click OK to apply your new defaults.

   The default options are set for new reports.

   Note: Default settings cannot be applied to the dimensions that are available on the Drill-Through Columns dialog box.
