Opening a report (Reports)

• To open a report, click its icon or its name. The name of the open report is highlighted.
• Reports may be sorted into folders to make them easier to find. You can click on report folders to open them.

  Note: If you have saved any of your own reports, they are stored in a folder called My reports. You must sign in before you can see your My reports folder. (This is an optional feature which may not be available in all sites.)

• Plus and minus signs show that report folders also contain subfolders. You can click on the signs to open and close the folders.
• Up and down arrows are used to sort reports and folders by name. You can click on the arrows to sort. Once you have sorted, the arrow changes color. Click again to restore the unsorted order.

  Note: If you are the site administrator or the owner of the reports in a folder, a "Rearrange reports" action button appears on the toolbar. You can use it to perform more advanced sorting, such as sorting by file type or publishing date. See Rearrange reports.

• Any report can be viewed and saved as a table or a chart. Each report type has its own icon:
  • Table (IVT) - Report opens on the Table tab.
  • Chart (IVT) - Report opens on the Chart tab.
  • Empty (IVT) - Report opens on the Item selection page. After you have selected the items for each dimension, you can view and save your report as a table or a chart. (Note: If you do not select any items for a dimension, the first item in its item list is selected by default.)
  • Extract (IVX) - Opens an Extract so you can build a new table from source data.
  • Map - (IVT) Report opens on the Map tab. (This is an optional feature which may not be available in all sites.)
  • Blended report (B2R) - A special report type which combines dynamic Beyond 20/20 tables or charts with text or other information.
• Other document types may be provided for your use. Each type has its own icon. These document types can be opened if you have the required application or a suitable viewer. The following types may appear at this time:
  • TXT - Text file
  • PDF - Adobe Acrobat Reader
  • XLS - Microsoft Excel
  • DOC - Microsoft Word
  • HTML/HTM - HTML file
  • PPT - Microsoft Power Point
  • ZIP - Compressed Zip archive
  • CSV - Comma-separated value file
• To search for a report, enter one or more keywords in the Search Menu and click Search.

Note: Some sites provide Navigational mapping as an alternate way of opening reports. To open the navigational map page, click the "Map" button on the toolbar of the Reports tab.
