YES PLEASE. I have one report I run 27 times because I only need 1 number from it each time. I do not need to save the PDF. Database is so much easier to review and create this report. I tried to move it over to NXT this month and it was horrible.

YES!!!! PLEASE!!! Reports should be able to be previewed within NXT, as a pop up window or as a script (similar to how Greater Giving has their reports, it's so handy!). To have to save and close in order to view a report that i could have just run in seconds in DB view is time wasted. My Downloads folder is chocked full of reports I've downloaded, reviewed and then didn't use. I have to clear my folder daily now... IT dept is frustrated too. It slows down my system and uses valuable drive space. PLEASE FIXT THIS!!!!

Definitely need a preview feature for reviewing the report before committing or as a quick way to validate other reports.

a thousand times this! i may have been doing this job since the dawn of time, but that doesn't mean I'll like the way a report looks without, you know, looking at it first. I've been known to preview more than five times to adjust columns.

I feel like a broken record but it keeps coming back to forcing tasks to take longer. I don't care if it's ten seconds longer or three minutes longer, but that adds up to our day.

https://renxt.ideas.aha.io/ideas/RENXT-I-7961 and this idea need to be combined.

Heck yeah! I have run reports and as soon as the preview came up I knew it was not what I needed. To have to wait for a PDF to generate, then go download it just to see it's wrong is frustrating. And if you forget to delete that wrong report??? Now you're going back trying to figure out what report with that name is the right one.

YES! So. Many. Things. in webview need to be preview-able. It slows us down way to much having to download something then find it and open it, just to see that it's not what we needed.

Thank you for suggesting this! It is why I haven't used the reports in NXT!

Agreed - the current process for having to download a report in web view is a bit cumbersome.

So agree, want to see that I have all the expected data, did I select the correct rating field, did I miss something? Or maybe I just need a figure/count from the report and don't even need it downloaded.
Want to be able to give report a custom name.

I need to ensure the report is showing the information I want it to on the screen - having to download them ALWAYS before being able to look at it is going to slow me down SO much. Also, I don't always want to download or print the report. Why should I have to download it if I don't need it? Being able to only preview the PDF format would be fine.

I agree here, though I understand the preview may not be available for .csv exports, for .pdf exports it would be incredibly helpful. I would specifically add that it's frustrating to have reports auto-download without the ability to change the export name or save to a specific place on your hard drive/shared drive (when you don't even know it's exporting correctly) feels like it adds multiple steps to the workflow, and having a preview that then allows you to save it once (instead of multiple times if you ran the report wrong) would also help with data cleanliness on our computers.
