Viewing favorite reports
You can show either all reports or only those reports marked as favorites. Reports can be marked favorite both automatically and manually.
To toggle between showing only favorite reports and showing all reports, click the favorites icon (
Module star select\) in the list header.
Note: Favorites filtering is persistent. If you chose to show only favorites the last time you viewed the Reports list, then only favorites are shown the next time. Click the favorites icon or the Favorites filtering is on button to show all reports you have the rights to view in the selected category. The My reports category is selected by default when you open the Reports list.
Report favorites
A report is automatically marked as a favorite when you open it. You can manually mark a report as a favorite by clicking the star icon beside the report title.
To turn off the automatic marking of reports as favorites, disable the user preference glide.ui.nav.auto_favorite. For more information, see User preferences .
View report owners
Report owners are not shown by default on the reports list, but you can add a column to show the user who created the report. Usually, the creator is the owner. The owner is also the person responsible for the process - the meaning of the data underlying the visualization.
