This self-help guide is for TeamDynamix (TDX) Agents who have reporting permissions in TD Work Management. It covers how to use and create reports and dashboards.
This article uses the Tickets app to demonstrate how to work with reports and dashboards. If you have access to other TDX apps—such as Assets, Projects, Portfolio Planning, or Analysis—you can follow the same steps. The only difference is that you will navigate to the app you want to use instead of Tickets; all other instructions remain the same.

Use Existing Reports
Watch this Reporting Overview. It guides you on how to navigate to reports, find pre-built reports, run existing reports, and copy them.
Reference Reports
The TeamDynamix Admins have created Reference Reports for anyone to use. You can run, copy, customize, or add these reports to your dashboards. There are two categories of these reference reports.
- The 'My ...' reference reports useful for agents to view individual work and they are in the Reference Reports for Agents report folder in TD Work Management.
- The 'Group(s) ...' reference reports are useful to view group work and they are in the Reference Reports for Group report folder in TD Work Management.
Accessing Reference Reports
- Go to TD Work Management, click the Applications menu, and select the Tickets application if you are not already there.
- From the Reports drop-down, select View Reports. The Reports page appears listing all the available report folders and reports.
- In the search box, enter my or group keyword
- Click Search button above the Search box.
The Reference Reports will show in their respective folders. You will still see all the other folders but they will be empty.
- Click the report's Name to access it. The page refreshes and will be blank except for the report option buttons at the top.
- Click the Run Report button to see the results, or click the Actions button then Copy to make a copy of the report that you can customize.
Create New Reports
Watch these videos to learn the steps involved in creating and customizing reports. These videos cover how to add and remove columns, build filter conditions, set share permissions, manage report visibility, and schedule email delivery of report results.
Develop and follow consistent naming conventions for both the reports and the report folders you create.
Do not place your reports in the Reference Reports for Agents or Reference Reports for Groups report folders. Instead, create your own report folder.
Do not set your reports' visibility to Everyone with this application, as this will share your reports with agents outside your group. Remember to check Do not show this report in the navigator unless you want to push the report to the left navigator menu for all your group members.
Share Existing Reports
Report owners can share their reports with both groups and individual agents.
- Login to TD Work Management
- Click the Applications menu, and select the Tickets application if you are not already there.
- From the Reports drop-down, select View Reports. The Reports page appears listing all the available report folders and reports.
- Search for or scroll through to find the report you wish to share.
- Click the report title in the Name column to open it.
- Click the Actions button and choose Edit from the drop-down menu.
- Scroll down to the Owner and Visibility section.
- Choose the radio button for Owner and these People/Groups. A text box will appear.
- Enter the name of the group or individual(s) you want to share the report with.
- Click Save to apply the changes.
Agents you’ve shared a report with can run it, duplicate it to create their own copies, and modify those copies as needed. Sharing a report doesn’t transfer ownership; only the owner can edit the original and any changes to the original won’t affect the duplicated copies.
Use Existing Dashboards
You can use any dashboards available to you. This includes dashboards you created and own, as well as dashboards your group created and shared with you.
In the
Tickets app, the
TDX Admins have also created the following dashboards to provide insights into your assignments:
