Use this screen to view a list of reports that are currently archived in the Costpoint database.

You can also edit the Archive File Description and the File Expires data. In addition, depending on your report archive rights, you can also delete archived reports.

This field displays the identification code for this report file.
The archive file name for a report is generated in two ways:
The user who generated this report specified the archive file name for this report in the Print Options dialog box.
Costpoint automatically derives this archive file name using a naming convention that makes use of the report application's identification code and then a sequential numbered instance of that application. For example, for the Indented Bills of Material report, Costpoint assigns 'BMRSLMLB' as the archive file name for the first instance of the report, 'BMRSLMLB_1' for the second instance of the report, 'BMRSLMLB_2' for the third instance of the report, and so on. This happens when a system setting automatically archives this report.
This field displays the descriptive name for this Archive File Name. You can updated this field as desired.
