Customer Communication Plan: 


Customers will be notified directly via email about the dates when Report Center will be enabled in their instance.

For all the Production Instances - Customers will get a 30-day prior notification.

However, please note that if a Test instance of any customer is available on the Productive Servers then the 30 days notification window might reduce.

Action required by Customers after enablement:


A Role-Based Permission modification is needed to add Report Center access to the user roles that currently have permissions to utilize reports. This change must be made by your organization after the enablement of Report Center. To view the minimum permissions needed to access reporting via Report Center after the update, please view this helpful knowledge base article.

If you are an admin and need admin permissions for Report Center then please view KBA 2819279.

Note:

  1. Above permission is to provide access to Report Center so that you can view existing reports and perform other functions based on your existing permissions. Your existing tool level permissions assigned under "Report Permissions" will remain intact.

  2. After Universal Upgrade, undo option available in Upgrade Center to disable the Report Center will not work.
