Loss of Ability to View Reports Results without Downloading

Gael Miller

Prior to the most recent update, I was able to view a general ledger report without downloading it. Typically, I only need to view a report not download it. I don't understand why that functionality has been removed. A fifth option under the "Generate Reports" button should be added to "send to screen" or "view only". Otherwise, Blackbaud has added unnecessary steps to the reporting process.

I share the same sentiment. Generating reports takes longer that just doing the "Preview".

I whole heartly agree. Most of my work is analytical and I usually need a quick look at the reports. Downloading is much slower, and puts unnecessary data onto my computer. Also, I would much appreciate it if you would bring back the option of printing the criteria page on the face page instead of a separate piece of paper.

Totally agree. Most of the reports I run do not need to be printed or saved - I just need to see it. In database view, report previews would just pop onto the screen, where I could choose to save it or usually, dismiss it. Now I have to wait for them to generate and then download them. Extra steps and extra time spent.

Totally agree-If we have to generate , it would be nice to be able to download all at once from the alert section. Not one at a time.

Major complaint from our finance department.

By the way, I answered this from the FE side - we are feeling the pain of having to download reports there too.
