Run Controls • A Run Control is the driver that needs to be created to run reports and processes. • The idea of a run control is to create and save them so you can use them again without having to create the same criteria every month or week for the same data you want a report. • A separate Run Control should be saved for each report and process that you run. • DO NOT use the same Run Control with all your reports and processes. • The names cannot include spaces. • They can not be renamed or deleted. 3

Creating a Run Control • • • When you first go to run a report, you will need a Run Control ID (since you have never created one at this point you will have to Add a New Value) Once you click Add a New Value, then you will have to name your Run Control. I recommend starting the name with the report name or process. If you already have a existing Run Control then you just need to click the name listed below search results. Add A New Value Find an Existing Value 4
