Business value

With the new Validate Layout action on the Report Layouts page, you can now validate report layouts to quickly identify any errors. This reduces dependency on developers and support requests, saving time and costs. It ensures accurate and reliable reports, enhancing data integrity and user confidence in the reporting process.

Feature details

In previous releases, if a report layout had errors, a developer needed to analyze and possibly create a support request to understand the issue. Now, the new Validate Layout action on the Report Layouts page allows administrators to validate layouts themselves and get a list of errors if any are found.
