Reports Prerequisites

Overview

The File Cabinet stores and organizes reports and report artifacts. It contains folders, subfolders, and folder contents such as reports and report sets. It is also where you will create Dynamic Reports, Reports Sets, Analytics Reports, and more.

A default File Cabinet folder structure is available for reporting administrator roles. For regular users, the folder structure is displayed according to report access privileges. Users with full access can add reports and sub-folders to these folders. Folders for Dynamic Reports and Report Sets are created only after the creation of the Reporting Cube.

Refer to ReportAccess to make sure that you have all the required permissions to access reports.
