Simple Reports can be restricted by staff permissions and +access to the overall feature is granted through a new RUN_SIMPLE_REPORTS +permission. + +The Simple Reports interface is intended to provide an alternate access point +for running reports in Evergreen and is not intended to replace the main +Reports interface. In particular, users in need of complex reports should +still make use of the main Reports interface. + +To simplify report creation some fields are generated from multiple backend +fields and other fields such as dates are repeated with multiple transforms +pre-applied. Reports and schedules can be edited at any time as needed. + -- 2.11.0
