The Reports Dashboard provides a number of navigational links, summary information, helpful tips and more. This listing includes both Reports and Charts. Below is an example dashboard screen with a description of the various items that may be included.
This dashboard is available all Unanet users. The sections and options that appear depend on which roles a user has.
Topics covered on this help page include:
Sub-Menu Items (on the main menu)

If you have a certain report that you run on a frequent basis with the same or similar selection criteria, you can save and reuse that criteria. Once you save a report or create an ad-hoc report, you can control which saved reports and/or ad-hoc reports will appear in your My Reports section so that you can quickly run the report directly from your dashboard (without having to supply selection criteria).
Clicking on the [config] link is a short cut to the Preferences >> Dashboard (My Reports tab) where you can manage which Saved Reports and/or Ad-hoc Reports will appear in your My Reports listing.

Unanet has a powerful assortment of built-in reports. The reports dashboard will contain a variety of reports which users will have access to based on which Unanet products are installed and which roles a users has.
Each report has a selection criteria page where you can specify what data you would like to include in the output. If you run certain reports with similar selection criteria you can save this criteria and either recall it on the selection criteria screen for further editing or even launch it directly from the Quick Links section available on various dashboard screens. See Saved Reports for more information.

Note: The above reflects the default installation configuration. Your menu structure may be different if your Unanet administrator has customized the menu.xml properties.
If the built-in reports do not provide the information you are seeking, you might consider checking out the Administrator's Export feature (which can be used to create custom data pulls) or the Ad hoc Reporting feature.
Note that a users ability to view and manipulate bill or cost related fields is governed by each users Cost Rate and Bill Rate Manager role assignments in conjunction with the Allow Bill Rate Edit (unasource.allow_bill_rate_edit) and Allow Cost Rate Edit (unasource.allow_cost_rate_edit) properties.
When running reports for many people, projects or large date ranges, the report generation and display make take a considerable amount of time and processing capacity. To help enforce that users supply appropriate selection criteria to narrow down their reporting requests, the Limit results In Search Filters (unanet.volume_search.filter_limit) property can be used. This property will limit the number of entries that may be included in the selection criteria multi-select boxes.
You may also what to check out the Restrict View help page which lists additional configuration considerations to limit user data visibility.
This section of the dashboard will contain links to additional instructions. The tips displayed will vary depending on each user's role.
Administrators can control which links and sections appear on the dashboards.
