Personal Reports Pane

When you navigate through the Report Wizard, you can save your reporting selections for future use. The Personal Reports pane displays all of your saved report formats and lets you run these reports.

You save a report on the last page of the Report Wizard, and assign it any name you wish. Right-click anywhere in the Personal Reports pane to see a shortcut menu of options that are relevant to the selected report.

Granting Access to Reports

If you are the owner of a report or a member of the SYSADMIN group, you can give other users  access to a report using the Access Control page of the Report Wizard or the Access Control tab of the Report Properties dialog box. You can make the report read-only to prevent others from changing your selections.

You will see all reports to which you have access in the All Reports pane, but only see the reports that you own in the Personal Reports pane.

By default, the user SYSADMIN is the owner of all reports. When you log onto Cobra as SYSADMIN, you will see all reports in the Personal Reports pane. If you are a member of the SYSADMIN group, you can change the owner of any saved report.

The table below provides information on the default columns displayed in the Personal Reports pane.
