Configure access to the report configuring-access-to-the-report
Report display context report-display-context
Define the display context of the report in the Adobe Campaign platform using the Display tab. Access to a report depends on its selection type, display conditions and access authorizations.
Selection type selection-type
Access to the report can be limited to a specific context or offer space, for instance a delivery, a recipient, a selection of recipients, etc. This access is configured in the Selection type section of the Display tab.
- Single selection : the report is only accessible when a specific entity is selected.
- Multiple selection : the report is accessed when several entities are selected.
- Global : the report is accessed via the list of available reports in the Reports tab.
Display sequence display-sequence
The Sequence field lets you enter a numeric value that specifies the display sequence of the report in the list.
By default, reports are displayed by relevance: the value entered in this field lets you sort reports from the most (highest value) to the least (smallest value) relevant.
You can select the scale to be used based on your needs: 1 to 10, 0 to 100, -10 to 10, etc.
Display conditions display-conditions
You can also condition the display of the report via a query.
In the following example, the report is displayed if the main campaign channel is email.
This means that if the main channel of the campaign is direct mail, the report won’t be available in the campaign reports.
Access authorization access-authorization
The report can be shared with other operators.
To make the report accessible, select the Report shared with other operators option. If this option isn’t selected, only the operator who created the report can access the report.
The report can also be shared with specific operators or groups of operators added via the authorizations window.
Define the filtering options defining-the-filtering-options
The Reports tab displays all available reports in the platform and for which the connected operator has an access right.
By default, they are sorted by relevance, but you can apply other types of filters: alphabetical, by age, etc.
You can also filter the display based on the report category:
To define the category of a report, select it via the Display tab, as shown below:
You can enter a new category here, and add it to the list of available categories. The matching enumeration is updated automatically.
