Report Properties
You use Report Properties to find out details about a report before you run it. Viewing a report query, available in the properties of the report, is helpful for determining if a particular report definition will return the data you want. This is especially important if you are running a static report for a large data set, for example, running the Registered User Properties report for 10,000,000 users. Static reports running on large data sets can require significant time to process.
The report properties include useful information about the report, such as the name, description, type, date created, and the query that the report is based on. You cannot change report properties. For information about viewing report properties, see Viewing Report Properties.
The following table describes the properties that you can view in the Reports module.
