Report Table​

Each row describes one report:

  • Group — the category the report belongs to (for example a vendor or System).
  • Name — the report name.
  • Description/Arguments — the report's description text.
  • Schedule — the recurrence, such as daily, or N/A when the report is unscheduled.
  • Prior Runs — a blue count badge when the report has recent runs; empty otherwise.
  • Updated On — the date and time the report was last updated.
  • Actions — three icon buttons: edit (pencil), schedule (clock), and run (green play). Each opens one of the dialogs described below.

Prior Runs History​

Click the count badge in the Prior Runs column to expand a run-history sub-table directly under the row. Its columns are ID, Status, Launched On, Time Taken, Cost, and Actions; each run row ends with a view (eye) icon button. Runs that finished normally show a green completed status badge:

Runs that did not finish show a red aborted status badge instead. Click the badge again to collapse the history.
