Concept: Temporary Reports
Temporary reports enable you to reduce clutter in your tenant by marking obsolete reports for
deletion, and then deleting them in bulk. You can make any custom report temporary.
You can restrict users to create only temporary reports by assigning them to the
Ability
to Create Only Temporary Reports
domain. They can still access all other reporting
features.Deleting Expired Temporary Reports
Expired temporary reports remain in your tenant until you run the
Delete My
Temporary Report Definitions
task. Report Admins can run the Delete
All Temporary Report Definitions
task to delete all expired temporary report
definitions.You can also schedule the task to run on a regular basis. When the task runs, Workday
permanently deletes any temporary reports that expire on or before the current date.
Changing Report Expiration Dates
Temporary reports expire 7 days after you create them. For all report types except for
simple reports, you can change the expiration date on the
Advanced
tab of the report definition.Saving Temporary Report Results
If you need to save temporary report results, you can export them as a spreadsheet or
PDF.
