Creating a Shared Data Set
You can create a Shared data set to add a previously created data set to a report.
After a data set is created on the Data Sets page, it can be made available for use in multiple reports. You can use the Shared data set to add a previously created data set to any reports that you build.
For example, your CommCell Administrator creates a data set and shares it with you. You can now open a report, create a Shared data set, select that shared data set from a list, and add it to the report that you are building.
Before You Begin
Create a data set on the Data Sets page in the Reports application.
Procedure
- Log on to the Web Console, and click Reports.
The Reports page appears.
- From the navigation pane, click Configuration > Reports, and next to the Report Name under Actions, click Edit.
