  3. You should now see the list of all reports you have created, left click on the Report you would like to give permission for others to run in Shelterbuddy (don't click the "Design/Preview/Delete" links)
  4. On the right on the screen, should appear the report Information, under the "Permissions" heading, you will see 2 Roles. "Everyone" and a role named similar to your Shelterbuddy site. Both should read "None". Click the drop-down next to the Role named similar to your Shelterbuddy site, and select "Read"
  5. That's it! Your report should now show in Shelterbuddy. You can view it by:
