Overview

As a report user, your available reports display based on your user entitlements. Reports are either "Shared" or "Personal." Shared reports are provided to your firm by Fidelity. You can view and edit Shared reports, although you cannot save or delete Shared reports. You can, however, save a copy of a Shared report, which makes it a Personal report. (Save a Personal Copy of a Report)

Tabs at the top of the window help you to organize your reports:

Reports on both tabs list in alphabetical order by report name. Sort the list by selecting a different column heading. An icon next to a report name indicates whether you will be "prompted" to modify some criteria and settings before the report runs. A prompted report can be a Shared or Personal report. (Run a Prompted Report)

Designate a Favorite Report

Designating a report as a favorite creates a link to the report on the Favorites tab while still maintaining the report on the All Reports tab. The same features are available on both tabs. Any changes made to the report on one tab are applied to the report on the other tab.

By consolidating your favorite reports in one place, you can quickly retrieve them. You may also access your favorite reports from elsewhere in Wealthscape such as from Account Search and Account Cartridge. On the menus accessible from those functions, select Reports > Favorites to run a favorite report specifically for the current account in context.

Note
You cannot designate FTP reports and Historical reports as favorite reports.
