    List Reports

    • With the May 2019 release of Primo, BIRT reports have been deprecated for Primo Cloud customers and have been removed from the Back Office. It is recommended that you migrate to Primo Analytics. For more information, see Overview of Primo Analytics.

    • BIRT reports are not supported in Primo VE. For more information regarding Primo VE Analytics, see Overview of Primo VE Analytics.

    List reports display on the left side of the Primo Reports page (see Primo Reports Page). These reports display information about your Primo configuration. These reports are generated from Oracle tables (such as RT_PIPE_CONFIGURATION, C_N_MAPPING_SET, C_I_INTITUTIONS, and so forth).
