How do I create and manage Report Groups (Maintenance)?

This article shows DL Admins how to create and manage alternate hierarchy views of various reports.

Overview

The Report Group Maintenance page allows DL admins to create alternate company hierarchy structures to display on various reports based on the access each group needs. This feature benefits multiple companies or franchisees in a single brand. Additionally, this feature provides more control over what users can have access to based on profile settings and report group settings.

Brands need to be 100% accurate on how they want to build their reporting structure before beginning this process. Editing a defined structure requires users to clear all configuration and access before a structure can be edited.

 

 

Create a Structure

Users will begin creating and defining a structure by navigating to:

Maintenance > Company > Report Group Maintenance

 

  1. Click + Add.
