View and Manage Reports and Report Folders

Manage your reports in a centralized place in Bloomerang CRM

On the Reports page in Bloomerang CRM, view all reports created by your organization. Organize reports in folders, add a description so you can tell what a report does without opening it, and export reports as Microsoft Excel files.

To create and edit folders, and to move reports into folders, you must have permission to edit reports. For information about user permissions, read User Permissions.

This article explains how to manage reports and folders. To create or edit reports, read Create Reports and Edit Reports.
