Report Folders

You usually don't want all of your reports appearing in one large list - it's confusing to the user and makes it hard for people to find the information they are looking for.

The report addon allows you to organise your reports into folders. These have human-readable names, like Machine Performance Reports.

A single report can appear in more than one folder at a time. For example, a report might be part of your Morning Summary Report that is emailed out to people, but it's also a Machine Performance Report. By making it available in both folders, people will be able to find it more easily.

You can specify the name of the folder in the last line of your info.txt file. It's an or (|) delimited list of folder names.

To use the above example, to place a report in both the Morning Summary Report and Machine Performance Report folders, you'd write the line…

Morning Summary Report|Machine Performance Report

You can also use subfolders. For instance, you can have Machine Performance/Daily to split your daily reports from your weekly or monthly reporting.
