Watch a (1:39) video tutorial on Favorites - Report Criteria Templates

Favorites (criteria templates) are a huge time saver and are available in most Jackrabbit screens. They are used to store regularly used search criteria and display settings for reports. Favorites allow you to quickly recall your selections; there is no need for you to choose them all again every time you run the report.

Favorites also contribute to your reporting accuracy and ensure consistent reporting. When you save your criteria selections as a Favorite you can create your reports quickly and with confidence, knowing that the same data is being pulled into the report each time it's run.

Create and name multiple Favorites with any combination of criteria and settings. A Favorite can be Public (shared with all User IDs) or Private (only available to the User ID that created the Favorite).
