Access & Navigate Reports
Outline
Intellum offers a powerful native Reporting tool that gives you direct access to the data tables behind your account. Reporting makes it easy to quickly pull a report on data captured from any data field, like a User's department or enrollment in a course. There are over 30 report types available to help you get started digging into your data.
This article walks you through accessing the Reporting tool and provides an introduction to navigating saved reports in the platform.
Accessing Reports
Click Reporting in the admin nav panel. On the Reporting page, you'll find your saved reports grouped by report type within folders:

Who can access the reports?
Unrestricted admins have access to create, edit, run, and/or duplicate all reports. Restricted admins can be granted access to create and edit their own reports and can be given access to run all or specified reports.
Shared reports include a user icon to the right of the report title. This indicates that this report has been shared with you, or that you've shared the report with other admins.
How do I find a report?
You can find a report in one of two ways:
- Manually finding one by opening its folder and selecting it.
- Searching for a keyword in your report.
To find a report the good ol' fashioned way, scroll through the folders—they're organized by report type. Open a folder and then click on a saved report's linked title to view, edit, or export that particular report.

Navigating Saved Reports
Saved reports can be run, managed, and shared through the following tabs:
Report Tab
The Report tab lets admins:
Apply a quick filter to the report
Preview report results and/or export a report
Subscribe to a report
![Report tab is open with 3 settings emphasized: Quick filters, export and save buttons, and the "Subscribe to this report" link.](https://cdn.exceedlms.com/uploads/resource_images/targets/3532833/page_regular/reporting-report-settings-tab.jpg?Policy=eyJTdGF0ZW1lbnQiOlt7IlJlc291cmNlIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9jZG4uZXhjZWVkbG1zLmNvbS91cGxvYWRzL3Jlc291cmNlX2ltYWdlcy90YXJnZXRzLzM1MzI4MzMvcGFnZV9yZWd1bGFyL3JlcG9ydGluZy1yZXBvcnQtc2V0dGluZ3MtdGFiLmpwZyIsIkNvbmRpdGlvbiI6eyJEYXRlTGVzc1RoYW4iOnsiQVdTOkVwb2NoVGltZSI6MTcyNTc1MTg2OX19fV19&Signature=FYFYW4ymjGn8MaX0vgQvxAm~BarlPAq~rCbujTx2QF4978eWrzDZbZsh4Alc4THzMxRYM24MEJCoJ~6vFOZWbMrKogWm78YPgzrb4eV7RTAx9UsTSCpRry~0PMyX~3sUXFr1WMLsXDEbvjeVTIPXkllOoOLRkvczHhFFv2ZfqNX5xxv1Yb0yCXHqepSKp8WlWsNbnnc9gbpqQnLkJ1Ej1iIuw8CUzMBPB1H3xTvLTXigbXjGpV2Vz6ksdM-OmUTCircAFjXF1ZJnBbEpl7IsaldCGg7L-CrQPYuOwYqZl8~iH8JyCefGi0~2IJD~2qUlvepsNy86KG9IhmTgRUYyVg__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAJINUZDMKZJI5I6DA)
If shared, report pages are accessible to Unrestricted admin and Restricted admin (with the appropriate permissions)
Properties Tab
The Properties tab allows Unrestricted and assigned Restricted admin to edit the report's:
- Name: A usable and specific name to help you identify it later.
- Report columns: The data columns that will appear in your export.
- Level of detail: Enable if you want just a total count of the data.
- Queries: Tells the report who (user fields), what (content), when (time frames), how (enrollments and completions), and other data points to report on. These help you focus your report on what matters most.

A report's Properties are accessible to the Unrestricted or Restricted admin that created the report. If Report Sharing is enabled, a report's Properties will be accessible to all Unrestricted admin.
Admin Permissions Tab
Admin Permissions lets a report creator enable Report Sharing. If enabled, the report is accessible to all Unrestricted admin. It can also be shared with specific Restricted admin or Groups of Restricted admin.
