Enable or Disable Report Actions

You can enable or disable various report actions such as Emailing, Printing, File Saving and Exporting. However, you can only enable Report Actions which are enabled in the Role above this one in the Role hierarchy.

Additionally, when you enable a report action such as printing, you can set a page limit. So, for example if you set the print page limit value to 1000, a user would only be allowed to print a maximum of 1000 pages at a time. Some Roles might not need printing at all, or perhaps only need to print a few pages at most.

Follow these steps to enable a report action:

1. From the Administration tab, click the Roles subtab.
2. Select the Properties Tab.
3. Find the Report Actions section.
4. Click the appropriate radio buttons to enable or disable the Report Actions for eMail, File Save, Printing and Exporting for this Role.

   Set permissions as follows:

   • For every Report Action you are enabling, you can set a page limit.
   • For eMail and File Save you can set the Text Report Format for the file:
     • Keep as Text - The format is not changed
     • Convert to PDF - Text reports are automatically converted to PDF reports.
     • User Choice (Text or PDF) - Allows the user to choose whether the text stays in the original format or is converted to PDF.
5. (Optional) Enter a page limit.
6. The user will only be able to print, email, export, and save this many pages at one time. A page limit of 0 pages means that no limit will be applied.
7. Click the Update button.

   Report actions are updated.
