Main List

There are several columns that describe reports in this list:

Select: This column consists of check boxes allowing you to apply a function to several reports at a time. For example, if you want to delete a report, click the appropriate check boxes, then click the Delete button. This is also how you can attach a label to a report or group of reports.
Stars: This column consists of unfilled stars directly to the left of the report name. Click them to fill them with yellow and highlight them as starred reports. These reports can then be filtered by clicking the Only show starred check box at the top left of the page.
Name: This column contains the name or title of the stored report.
Labels: This column contains the labels that have been assigned to the particular report. A report can have multiple labels, and the check boxes on the left allow you to filter the report list by labels. Domain labels might also be attached to external reports delivered by a site. Because there are multiple labels in this column, it cannot be sorted.
Author: This column lists the name of the Web Reports user who created this report.
Visibility: This column shows whether the report is public or private. If you are the author of a report, this column also lets you change the status of the report from the pull-down menu.
Scheduled: This column indicates which reports are on a schedule.
Last Modified: This column contains the dates when the report was last modified by its author.
