# Run a Saved Report Outside of Report Builder

## Overview

After [saving your report](https://docs.silverband.com.au/home/paradigm-knowledge-base/generating-reports/workflows/build-a-report/step-5-save-report), to access it and generate a result you have the option to access it outside of Report Builder. Saved Reports built via Report Builder are saved under the **Reports** menu in Paradigm.

When [saving the report](https://docs.silverband.com.au/home/paradigm-knowledge-base/generating-reports/workflows/build-a-report/step-5-save-report), you have to remember what type of report you have saved it to and generate the report from there. Saved Reports in Paradigm can be saved in the following types: **All**, **Provider**, **Student**, **Financial**, **Marketing**, etc.

For example, if you built a report in Report Builder and you saved it with the **Financial** type, to access, load, or run your saved report, you have the option to find it under the **Reports** menu in Paradigm and the type you've saved it to, e.g. **Financial**.

Navigate to the other section under the **Reports** menu depending on what type the report has been saved as shown in the above screenshot.

## Workflow

Refer to the [above ](#overview)example wherein in the (<mark style="color:green;">**1**</mark>) **Reports** menu you are going to access the saved report. Once you are in the specific **Reports** menu section, saved reports under that type will be displayed.

Following the [above ](#overview)example, e.g. in the (<mark style="color:green;">**2**</mark>) **Financial** section - you can (<mark style="color:green;">**3**</mark>) use the **Ctrl** + **F** (Windows) or **Command-F** (Mac) to find the specific title of the report that you have saved to save you time from scrolling through the list.&#x20;

Once you have found your report, (<mark style="color:green;">**4**</mark>) verify the title and make sure that it's the correct report that you want to run and (<mark style="color:green;">**5**</mark>) click the **GET REPORT** button.

After clicking the **GET REPORT** button, it will open the form depending on how the report was built. (<mark style="color:green;">**6**</mark>) Enter or verify the fields that are marked as mandatory **\*** and then (<mark style="color:green;">**7**</mark>) select the report output file type you want before you finally (<mark style="color:green;">**8**</mark>) click the **PRODUCE REPORT** button.
