Customize Reports and Control Organization Availability

Managed reports are maintained by ShelterPact; custom reports are organization definitions. Customize and Duplicate provide different starting points for organization-specific work.

Before you beginOpen Report Center. Editing, creation, sharing, export, and managed selection can require different permissions.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Find the managed report and read its definition. Use Customize when available to begin an organization-specific version.
  2. For an existing custom report, use Edit to revise its definition or Duplicate when a separate definition is needed.
  3. Review setup, columns, filters, grouping, and sort before changing them. Use Preview to validate the new interpretation.
  4. Name and describe the report clearly, including the date or status scope. Review sharing with other authorized users and favorite settings.
  5. Save the intended definition and verify it in Report Center. Confirm whether you changed the original or created a separate report.
  6. For managed availability, open Settings → Managed Reports. Search or filter the library and review Selected and Available Now.
  7. An authorized configuration manager can enable, disable, or restore defaults. Turning a managed report off removes availability; it does not delete source records or custom reports.
