Hi, 

When you create a saved report the file name stays the same as the report it was originally based on (eg, Course Offfer Intake Enrollments - Warehoused).  This becomes an even bigger issue when you setup workflows for those reports.  You end up with multiple copies of the same filename with no way to tell them apart except to open them.  

It would be great if you could define a filename for a report at either the Saved Report or Scheduled Tasks point to avoid this confusion.

Thank you,

  Hi Wayne

  To add to Tom's comments, this is a change that was made earlier year, but it looks like it's not working correctly in your circumstances.

  I'll pass this additional information on to the relevant teams.

  Thanks
  Mark

  Hi Wayne,

  Thank you for your suggestion. 

  When saving or editing a Saved Report, a new name can be nominated under the 'Saved Report Name' field. An example of this can be seen below:

  

  Does this help find a solution to the matter you've outlined?

  Hi Tom, thank you for your reply but no this doesnt fix the issue.  The report when you run it is called that, but the downloaded file is not.

  So here is a report where the name is filled in

  

  then when you run it you can see the title at the top reflect thats but the file name does not when you download it.

  

  So this gets worse when I have 4 similiar reports set to run on the same day as a scheduled task and send me a link to download.  I then end up with something like:

  Does that make a bit more sense sorry?

  G'day Wayne,

  Thank you for this additional information. This makes complete sense, and I think it is a fantastic suggested change.
  
  I'll forward this to our Product Management Team to discuss further. We will post here with any relevant updates as they arise :).
