Cross-Project Report of Knowledge Base

You may need to search for Solutions across multiple Projects.  While there are limited options to view Solutions from multiple Projects from the Knowledge Base area, a cross-project report of Solutions allows you to use multiple search criteria.  You must be a member of the Projects to be included in the report and have permission to run cross-project reports, or be a System Administrator.

To run a cross-project report of Solutions:

  1. Select Reports | Cross Project | Copy from the FootPrints Toolbar .
  2. Select the Projects to include in the report.  Use the CTRL key to highlight more than one Project.
  3. Click GO.
  4. Choose the desired formatting options, fields displayed, etc., as described in Custom Reporting
  5. To get the full details of the Solution, make sure to include the Description field in Step 3  (the field may have another name, such as Notes or Details).  To include the name of the Project where the Solution resides, select Project Name.
  6. Under Select Report Criteria, for Status, highlight Internal Solution and/or Public Solution.   This limits the report to the Knowledge Base only.
  7.  Choose the other criteria for the report.  For example, to return Solutions with the word “password” in the Solution, enter password for as the keyword.  Do not specify any Address Book information, as Solutions do not contain Address Book data.
