Downloading a Requests Report

Can I run a report about the requests I have access to?

You can create and run a report about all or a subset of the requests you have access to. You can create a report for a one-time download as either a CSV or XLSX file, or save the report to run at a later time.

There are two ways to customize what request data is included in a report:

  • By request: you can use the search and filter options on the left-hand side of the All Requests index to determine what requests are included in the report (corresponding to rows on the report). You will need to apply the requester filters each time you run the report

  • By field: when creating the report you will have the option to choose which fields are included (corresponding to columns on the report). You can choose to save your selected fields as a canned report to run at any time.
