Cloud Reports and Templates
HDS periodically publishes new user report templates and makes them available through the
Cloud section in the
Reports tab. If you have the privilege enabled, you can run these reports directly from the Cloud, preview the data and if you like it, save the report locally. (The template is automatically saved locally when you save the report.) You can quickly identify these new or updated user report templates by their
New or
Updated badge. See also
About Badging.
Once saved, Cloud templates work exactly like out-of-the-box templates, except they are linked to the Cloud, so when HDS introduces improvements, the Cloud section is automatically refreshed and your local Cloud-linked templates can also be updated if you choose to do so. However, if you saved a Cloud template with a different name or made a copy, that saved template is detached from the Cloud template and will not automatically inherit the updates.
The
Cloud section and its templates are available if you have the privilege enabled. See
About User Privileges. Proxy connections are supported.
Note: If you do not have an internet connection, you can still benefit from Cloud-based templates. Contact HDS Professional Services for details.
