Add Reports and Documents to the History List

You can use the History List to:

• Keep shortcuts to previously run reports and documents, like the Favorites list when browsing the Internet.
• Perform asynchronous report and document execution. For example, multiple reports can be run at the same time within one browser, or pending reports can remain displayed even after logging out of a project.
• View the results of scheduled reports and documents.

Your MicroStrategy project may be set up to automatically add to your History List the results of every report and document that you execute.

If report and document results are not automatically stored in your History List folder, you can decide which results you want to store in your History List folder.

You can add a report or document to the History List either while it is executing, or after it has executed and you are viewing the results. Both procedures are below.

You also have the option to add report and document results to your History List based on a subscription. This lets you designate a specific set of results to be added automatically to your History List on a scheduled basis. For details, see Schedule a Report or Document to be Sent to the History List.

To Add a Report or Document to the History List as it is Executing

1. Click the name of the report or document to execute it.
2. On the wait page that displays while it is executing, click Add to my History List.
3. When you want to view the results stored in your History List folder, from the upper left of any page, click the MicroStrategy icon , then select History List. For details about the options in your History List, see Viewing reports and documents in your History List folder.

To Add a Report or Document to the History List After it is Executed

2. Do one of the following:

   • For a document: Click the menu icon on the right, and select Add to History List.
   • For a report: From the Report Home menu, select Add to my History List.

   If the Add to History List option is not available, then the report or document has already been added to the History List.
