1. Timeline
In the near future, the ability to create new legacy reports will be disabled. Existing legacy reports will still be accessible.
The next phase will be to disable the ability to copy existing legacy reports. You will no longer be able to duplicate these reports. It is recommended to start transitioning important reports to our new report builder.
Finally, the ability to edit existing legacy reports will be disabled. All legacy reports will become view-only. We recommend converting critical reports to the new format before this date.
2. What to do now
To copy your existing legacy reports to the new report builder, all you need to do is click on the “More” icon next to your legacy report and select “Copy to New Report Builder”.
Once it’s converted, you can start editing your report in the New Report Builder. Before you are able to save the new report, you might have to adjust some widget settings as recommended by the system.
For example:
In this case you would have to:
- Follow the instructions and edit all the selected widgets.
