Hello,

I am currently trying to run IFS Business Reporter and learn some of the basic, but when I try to pull data from my information sources, I have nothing returning. However, in IFS Cloud there are balances and data in the sources I’m pulling from. I’ve tried multiple different account type but always return a zero value. Is there some permission or setting somewhere in IFS that I need to update? Also, whenever I am putting in row repeaters, the only way that I can get any data at all to return to me is if I select the ALL checkbox on my Design Row Options. This isn’t what is described in the IFS Business Reporter training. Lastly, whenever I am trying to use the sheet repeater, a report that was otherwise working will break and no new sheets are created. Even if it’s an information source that I have already confirmed returns a value in other testing. 

Hello,

IFS Cloud contains predefined Permission Sets with the main purpose to provide a BR end user or designer with the necessary functional projection grants for those roles. These permission sets are focusing on functional access rather than on report access. Thus it will be necessary to grant report access to e.g. a BR end user even if that user has the functional grants to act as a BR end user:
 

The only end user Permission Set that by default has access to both BR specific functionality and administration as well as to published reports is BA_REPORT_ADMIN.

@CodyC when you wanna explore GL data (at least this what I understood you wanna query), please make sure you have:

  • access to the company
  • part of a finance user group - AC for example
  • your user is connected to the relevant authority class to allow to query GL data
