Pinned Reports Stats and Maintenance

An Administrative report now allows system and application level administrators to review Pinned Reports stats within their respective applications. It is often the case that you might want to know how many end users on campus or within your department or organization are actually taking advantage of the numerous new options available within the Pinned Reports functionality.

This report will allow you to not only run basic stats about the use of Pinned Reports (frequency, last executed, etc.) but even details such as how many times the report has been used on a Dashboard, or how many times it has been used by the Report Scheduler!

This Admin page also gives you the ability to edit or add any of the View, View & Edit or Read-Only groups associated with a group Pinned Report in order to manage the Sharing Options relating to any of the Pinned Reports. It also allows you to edit which user group(s) are able to edit and maintain a Pinned Report versus simply being able to view or run it.

To use the report, from any application, select the Administration Tab -> Information -> Pinned Reports.

A standard Filter Options page will allow you to refine your search in a variety of ways including by: Reporting Page, Pinned Report Name, Created By, Date Created, etc.

Select your Filter Options and execute the report. To view all reports by application, simply populate the Application drop-down (this will auto-fill if you are working within a specific FAST application and not at the Site Admin level).
