## Run and use multiview report

After you save your multiview report, you can run it by selecting the report in the navigation pane.

   Or select the report under the relevant multiview report in the navigation pane.

2. To collapse a report in a multiview report, click Collapse Report in the upper-right corner of the content pane.

You can also specify a multiview report in your initial view. For details, see Change the web client's general settings.
