Find a way to preview report results before downloading
In DBV, you could choose to preview a report or download it. In webview, you must download it in order to see the results. This is a huge time waster when you are testing, validating, or workshopping a report. Some sort of abiity to preview, even if it is a sample of the full data, would be extremely helpful.

Yes! It's frustrating to wait for a report, then download it, open it up and BANG! It's not what you needed. Now you have to delete that report and go back and figure out what you did wrong and maybe go through the process again.
Reports a lot of times need minor tweaks to get what is needed and being able to preview it before generating speeds up the process.
MUST have! DBV has this option and it is very necessary since I need to be efficient in work, not waiting for a report to download and open only to find that I need to make changes.
Absolutely! I got excited about seeing reports in NXT but as soon as I realized that I had to download reports to view them, I clicked away again. It's not useful for me.
Agreed! I hate having to download something just to see that it's not the thing I needed.
Agreed! I don't want to save and close if I don't have the result I'm expecting.
Agreed! This is one reason why I continue to use reports in DB view. It's just easier to test things out in DB view.
