A name must be supplied when saving the Report Definition. Enter a report name in the Save this Report Definition with name entry field. Note that the / character is not supported for Report Definition names!
Optionally, a description may be supplied in the Description text area.
To save the report definition, click the Save icon in the toolbar.
Once the Save button in the Report Definition view is clicked, the Report Definition is saved to a specific folder in the document repository.
By default, Report Definitions are made available globally. For example, everyone with access to the Business Process Reporting perspective has access. This access may be limited to the logged-in user only, or to a specific organization, role, or department.
When the Personal Report Definition storage option is selected, the Report Definition is limited to this user and it will appear in the Personal Report Definitions folder in the My Reports tree.
It will also be accessible in the Personal Reports folder in the Report Manager view.
The Global Report Template storage option provides unrestricted access. For example everyone with access to the Business Process Reporting perspective has access.
The Report Definition will appear in the Public Report Definitions folder in the My Reports tree and also in the Public Reports folder in the Report Manager.
The Report Definition for Role/Organization storage option allows you to specify the organization, role or department to limit access to.

Note that if limiting the access by a participant, only one organization, role or department may be selected.
The Report Definition will appear as top level folder in the My Reports tree named for each participant. e.g., Role1 Report Definitions.
In the Report Manager, these reports will appear in separate folders under the top level Reports folder.
Report Definitions are stored in ASCII files with serialized JSON content. The file extension is .bpmrptdesign (BPM Report).
