How can we deactivate reports

[ayan_c]

Hi Everyone -

Can anyone please tell me how can I disable a report. I mean - I want to make some reports "Deactivated" thus no one can see the reports.

Thanks in advance!!

Thanks Anurag,

But for this should I have to create different ACL for each report?

[Anurag Tripathi]

yes, so this option is fine of the reports are less, and on same tables. Otherwise Angus's reply is better.

Can you go to Administration > Edit and add the active flag to the table there?   Then maybe somehow edit the report_home.do page to only include active reports?

I have never done this myself, but it may be possible with a little backwards engineering.

Allen's suggestion may help but dont think there is a active field on that table ...

if the field is not there , change the report's user field to your sys_id ... that would make the report visible only to you ... (In a sense deactivated for others )...

Run a background script for this if the number of reports are large

Unfortunately there is no way to deactivate a report. The easiest workaround is to create a role and assign that role to the reports you want to make invisible. As long as you do not assign that role to any users, no one will see the reports.
