Create an Ad Hoc Report
With Ad Hoc Reports, users have the ability to craft their own reports to show specific information that is most relevant for them. After spending the time to create the exact report that is desired, users can set them as Quicklinks for easy access at a later date. An Ad Hoc report can show a lot of different information and can display the titles for specific needs. When running an Ad Hoc report, users will have access to the Unit Selector, Form Selector, Date Ranges, and Add Data Column.
Report access is based upon a user's permissions. For example, a provost might have permission to access all reports at the university level and below, while deans might only have access to reports for their colleges.
