CMS Widget - Simple Report Runner
The CMS Widget - Simple Report Runner is designed to generate a PDF report or a DAT Query as predefined by an Administrator, whereas the CMS Widget - Report Runner provides users with the flexibility to select a PDF report or a DAT Query from a dropdown menu.

Note: The Title and Navigate Url CMS Widget properties are only applicable when added to a CMS Profile.

Note:  Simple Report Runner has additional CMS Widget - Reporting Options available.

Note: PDF reports are still restricted by the current user's roles.  If the Administrator chooses a PDF report that the user lacks roles to generate, then they are unable to generate the report. Example:  The “Customer Statement” report can only be viewed by users with a Parent role.  If you place the Simple Report Runner with the “Customer Statement” report on the student portal or teacher portal, those users are generally be unable to request the report.

Note: DAT Query is not restricted by the current user's roles.  Any report specified by the Administrator is generated. 

Note:  Only DAT Query with no parameters are available as options.
