Report Statistics - Created by all show 'system'

[Paul Kraus]

To prepare for Platform Analytics, I took a closer look at the Report Statistics feature. All reports show a "Created by" and "Updated by" as " system." Obviously this isn't true as many people, including myself as the report admin, have created many of these reports. Any ideas why the page only shows 'system' name?

Check again. Are you sure you are looking at the report.created_by and not the report_statistic record's created_by? Every report statistic record is a reference to the report itself and is created by system (the system collects the data of the usage).

Next to that: great that you are preparing for PAE! It will help to get your users to make use of the latest technology and move them to a uniform experience but do know that there will no longer be a mandatory migration. The old stuff will remain available (read-only starting with Australia (link)).

That appears to be my issue. I am now creating a report based on 'report_stats' table in order to reach those fields.
