Create a Folder

To create your first report folder, click New Folder on the top right of the Reports page. You will be prompted to name your folder. When naming folders keep in mind that folder names must be unique ā€” no two folders can have the same name. These folders will be visible to all other users at your organization.

Move Report(s) into a Folder

There are two ways to move existing reports from the Unfiled (or All Reports) list into your new folder:

  1. Drag and drop a single report into the new folder
    ā€‹

  2. Or, select checkboxes for multiple reports, click Move Report, and select the folder you'd like to move them into.


    ā€‹

Create a Report From Within a Folder

Create a report from within a folder by clicking Create Report. When you create that report it will be filed within the new folder.

Delete or Edit a Folder

If you decide a folder is no longer needed, select the folder youā€™d like to remove and click Delete.

āš ļø Keep in mind: If you delete a folder, all reports in the folder will be deleted too.
