- Global: Available to all users with permissions.
- Environment: Restricted to a specific environment, such as WB or PX.
- Mark as a Favorite (optional): If you’d like to prioritize this profile for quick access, tick the “Favorite” checkbox and assign a unique name if desired.

All saved profiles are organized in a central location, making management straightforward:
- Access the All Profiles Menu: Navigate to Reports > All Profiles to view and organize your saved report templates by title.
