A report view is a collection of report options that you save, name, and reuse so as to run a report in a specified way. Use report views to customize a standard report to meet a specific need, then use security to limit employee access to the custom view.
Note:
You can
also create a report view for a custom report.
You might want to create a report view for a report if:
Different employees will
want to produce the report using the same options.
You want to create several
versions of a report, each produced with different options.
You want different employees
to see a version of a report with information that pertains only to them.
For example, you may want project managers
to see the Billing Report with only their projects on it. You would create
a view for the Billing Report and select the Display Projects Limited
By Project Manager option.
