Report

The Report dropdown allows you to select which report to display in the block. If no report is selected or if the logged-in user does not have access to the selected report, the block will not be shown.

Only user-generated reports are listed for selection. Embedded reports are not included since they may depend on URL parameters that are not be available on every page where the block may be displayed. User-generated reports with Hide in my reports checked are still included in the dropdown list.

Only reports that the block creator has access to will be displayed in the dropdown list. The currently selected report is always shown, even if the user configuring the block does not have access to it. For example, if the block is created by one user then edited by another, or the block creator loses access to a report they previously selected for display in the block. If the user switches to a different report then the inaccessible report is removed and is unavailable for selection on subsequent configuration attempts.

Saved search

Once a report is selected, the Saved search dropdown is enabled and automatically populated with any public saved searches associated with the selected report. All available data is the default and the only option available if the report has no public saved searches.

Modifying the Report dropdown will reset the Saved search dropdown. If a selected saved search becomes unavailable the behaviour of the Saved search dropdown is the same as for a report that has become inaccessible (see above).

Backward incompatibility of saved searches with third-party filters might occur. If saved searches do not work with your third-party filters, please contact the developer of these filters to update them.

Hide block if zero results

If checked (the default) then the entire block is hidden if the selected report and associated saved search setting returns no records accessible by the logged-in user. If unchecked and no results are returned then the block is shown with the following message: 'There are no records that match your selected criteria'.
