Running a report generates a report based on its defined data series and parameter information. Once you run the report, the data is used to create a graphic or tabular chart of this information. Each time that you change the appearance of a report, you can run it again to see the new results.
Before you can run a report, all of its properties and data series options must be defined by someone with appropriate rights. You can select the appearance of the report data at a later date if necessary. See Building Reports for more information.
Note: This section discusses how to request an immediate run of a report. It is also possible to schedule a report to run automatically at predetermined intervals. For details on how to schedule a report, see Scheduler.
1.If necessary, click the Reports tab. 2.Select one of the following options: oIn the Reports list view, in the right pane, click the report that you want to run. oOpen the Collection or Folder that contains the appropriate report, and then click the report that you want to run. If you have already run this report recently, you might see cached output instead of new output retrieved from a full report run. To learn more about cache, see Viewing a Cached Report. See Changing the Appearance of a Report if you want to make cosmetic changes to a report. This will not change the appearance of the original report.

Note: If there are no parameters associated with this report, it runs immediately and appears as a chart or tabular report based on its settings.
If Parameters are defined (values that you enter before the report is run), the Parameters page opens. Review or change the parameter values, and then click Run Report to display the chart. See Building Reports for more information.
After a report with parameters runs, link Clear Values will erase any parameter values that had been entered previously. Link Reset to Default will erase any previous parameter values, then replace them with the default values that were defined when the report was built.
Neither of these two links will cause the report to run again. You must explicitly click the Run Report link to run the report again.
