Both shared reports and reports owned by individual users may be accessed, deleted and some report attributes may be updated.&nbsp; Reports may be be moved from one user to another.&nbsp; The update operations act on single reports or different filtered groups of reports.&nbsp; The typical functions of the utility are to perform the following tasks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\tDelete all reports in the system that have not been run in a while, say the last year<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tDelete all the reports in the system belonging to an individual user, after they have ceased being an ExtraView user<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The utility is extremely flexible in allowing the administrator to filter through very large groups of reports, to quickly decide on which reports the mass operation is to be fulfilled.&nbsp;<span style=\"color: rgb(178, 34, 34);\"> It is possible to delete many reports with a few keystrokes, so unless you are familiar with the operation of this utility, it is suggested you take a backup of the entire site before beginning.<\/span>&nbsp;
