They are stored on the server and are available from either client. For details, see Create reports. Note: For an object class tree node to be displayed in My Reports, at least one report of that object class must exist.
Public Reports | Contains an icon for each stored report that a OpenText Dimensions CM user has made available to other users, plus standard reports available to all users. These are grouped by OpenText Dimensions CM object class tree node. Note: For an object class tree node to be displayed in Public Reports, at least one report of that object class must exist.
My Filters | Contains an icon for each object filter you have created using the Find dialog box. The filters are stored in the registry on your local machine. For details, see Create and use object filters.
