Reporting Mass Action

Security:
Custom Report Administration
 domain in the System functional area.
Report Administrators can use the Reporting Mass Action task to mass update class report fields in advanced reports. For example, report admins can replace multiple deprecated fields, that are no longer in use, with a suitable field. Users can also view reporting mass action history between a selected time frame.
We recommend running this task in an implementation tenant or preview sandbox tenant before you complete it in your production environment. You can then migrate the reports from sandbox to production. However, these changes will not generate in the reporting mass action history.
The Reporting Mass Action task cannot update the fields within calculated fields.
  1. Access the
    Reporting Mass Action
     task.
  2. Select the
    Original Report Field
     you want to replace and its
    Replacement Report Field
    .
    To update a DNU field, search for the field using its Workday ID (WID). Example:
    WID: 13500000000000000000000000000samplewid
    . Search by name or WID for other fields.
  3. Select the items to replace or select the
    Select All
     check box to replace all items.
    The table displays each occurrence of the original report field in all advanced reports.
  4. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option
    Description
    Report Definition
    The report that uses the original field.
    Referred Instance
    The specific instance on a report definition where the field is used.
    Where Used
    The specific area the referred instance is in, such as column, sort, or filter and the type, such as field or business object.
    Report Owner
    The report owner.
    Last Run By
    Who last ran the report.
    Last Run Date
    When the report was last run.
  5. Confirm all selections are correct as you can't undo your changes. The task may take a few minutes to complete depending on the number of instances to replace.
The class report fields update automatically.
You can access the
View Reporting Mass Action History
 task to view all report definition updates within a selected time frame and by a selected report admin.
