In this guide, we will show you how to use the Quick Report conversion feature within Adhoc Reports.
This process does not affect or overwrite your original Report, it creates a separate copy as a Quick Report.
Pre-requisite: You must have an understanding of Adhoc and Quick Reports within the MIS, You also need to have some Adhoc Reports already created.
Access: There is no standalone permission needed to access Quick Report conversion, it is readily available if you have access to Reports>Adhoc>View Reports. The permission for View Reports is found in the Reporting Module of Config>Setup>Roles & Permissions.
Any current Permissions will be retained within Converted Report. Quick Report Schedules will NOT be Converted and will need to be added manually.
