Hi,

How can I bring the "Switch to Classic UI" while creating new reports as shown in the image?

Please refer the attached image too.

Hello,

Go to system properties and search for the property:- glide.ui.report.old_report_builder

And make the value as true then you will be able to see that option:-

Do we still have the capability to switch to Classic UI while creating reports, in the Next UI?

1. Log in to the instance with an admin account
2. Navigate to sys_properties.list
   
   • A list of System Properties should appear in the right pane.
3. Search for the property with the name glide.ui.report.old_report_builder.
   If this property is not found, it will have an implicitly assumed value of true and will allow usage of the original Report Builder interface.  If you intend to continue allowing the use of that interface, no further steps are needed.  However, if the admin prefers to disable the original Report Builder and the property is not already found on the instance, this property will need to be created as follows:
4. Ensure you are currently in the global scope.
5. From the sys_properties records list, click the New button to create a new System Property.
6. A new System Properties record will appear.  Fill out the following fields on this form as indicated:
   
   • Name: glide.ui.report.old_report_builder
   • Description: Show the option to use the old report designer
   • Type: true | false
   • Value: false
   • Ignore cache: unchecked
   • Private: unchecked

7. Submit the form to save the new property.

If, however, this property is already found on the instance, but you want to change the value of the property, open the property as found in the search above from the list of System Properties.

1. Change the value field as appropriate.
2. A value of true indicates that the original Report Builder User Interface will be available for use by users of the system.
3. A value of false indicates that the original Report Builder User Interface will not be available for use by users of the system and they must use the new Report Designer when creating and editing reports.
4. Click the Update button on the record to save the change to the system property.

   If the property is set to false (indicating that the original report viewer is no longer available to users on the instance), creating a new report or editing an existing report will automatically open in the new Report Designer.  In addition, the link in the upper right side of the Report Designer ,Switch to classic UI, will no longer appear.

   If the property is set to true, the old Report Builder user interface can be used by those with permissions to create and edit reports. When opening an existing report for editing or creating a new report, the system will by default use the new user interface. However, if you last used the original Report Builder for creating or editing a report, the system will use that one until you toggle to the other User Interface.

   When the property is set to true, users can switch between the two interfaces using the link found in the top right corner of the report creation interface.

   In the newer Report Designer the link will be labeled Switch to Classic UI and clicking that link will reload the same report using the old Report Builder interface.
