Understanding the Report Manager Views

Use the Report Manager - Explorer and Report Manager - List pages to view all of the reports that are in the PeopleSoft system (across multiple databases) that the user is authorized to access. When a user first accesses Report Manager, the Report Manager - Explorer page appears, showing a hierarchical view of folders and reports.
Unlike the Report Manager - Administration page, the Report Manager - Explorer and Report Manager - List pages list reports when both of the following events occur:
1. The Distribution Agent has successfully posted the report to the report repository.
When the report has posted, the Distribution Agent sends a message to have an entry added to the report folder table for the new report.
2. The local message node has received the message that was sent by the Distribution Agent by adding an entry for the report in the report folder table.
New reports that have been scheduled or are in the process of being posted to the report repository are  viewed only through the Report Manager - Administration page.
Note: Folders that have been deleted remain active until all reports have been purged from them. However,
new reports cannot be added to a deleted folder.
