Article Goal

Learn how to re-execute a previously completed report in WebReports.

What is Re-Execute?

The Re-Execute option allows users to run a previously completed report again using the same parameter values that were used during the original execution.

This eliminates the need to manually re-enter parameters when generating updated report results.

Why Use Re-Execute?

Re-executing a report is useful when:

• You need updated data using the same parameters.
• You regularly run the same report.
• You want to save time by avoiding manual parameter entry.
• You need to regenerate report results after data changes.

Example

A sales report is executed using:

• Start Date: 01/01/2026
• End Date: 01/31/2026

After new sales data is imported, the report can be re-executed using the same date range without manually entering the parameters again.

Accessing Re-Execute

1. Sign in to WebReports.
2. Select Reports.
3. Click Completed.
4. Locate the report you want to run again.
5. Click Re-Execute.

What Happens During Re-Execution?

When a report is re-executed:

• The original report is executed again.
• The previously selected parameter values are reused.
• A new completed report entry is created.
• The original completed report remains available.

Best Practices

• Review the original parameter values before re-executing the report.
• Verify that source data has been updated if refreshed results are expected.
• Use Re-Execute for recurring reports that use the same parameters frequently.
