Configuring a report resource as the default view
About this task
Use the Set as default option to configure a specific report as the default view when you are loading any report. The option reduces the steps that are needed to access reports when you are loading resources, including the following resources.
- Overview reports
- Detailed report views
- Grid report views for checklists, vulnerabilities, exceptions, computers, and computer groups
The users can set the default view based on their permission levels:
- Standard users can set the report view to private or default.
- Administrators can set the report view to private, default, or global default.
- Private
- This option makes the report private, and only the user who saved the report can access the report. Even an administrator will not be able to access the saved report.
- Set as default
- This option saves the report in a default view. Both the user and administrator can view the saved report in a default view.
- Set as global default
- This option saves the report in the global default view, and all the users will view the
report in the saved global default view.Note: Only administrators can set the report views to global default, but if a standard user already sets the report view to default, the administrator cannot overwrite the settings.
