Working in XI R2

Report Folders

What happens to the reports I save in my Favorites folder if I move to a different department?
Your reports will remain in your Favorites folder for as long as you have access to XI R2. If your access to the data set is removed because of a job change, you will not be able to run the relevant reports.

Is there a space limit on my Favorites folder?
No. Since all reports are stored on a U-M server, you have enough space in your Favorites folder to store your reports. We ask that you be a good steward of data resources and only save the reports you need.

Working in XI R2

When is XI R2 available?
XI R2 is generally available noon, Sunday - 11:00 p.m., Saturday, except when individual data sets are being refreshed.

How do I copy and paste data to Excel?
View step-by-step instructions for copying and pasting data to Excel in My LINC (you will be prompted to log in). You can also export an entire report to Excel. This method preserves formatting and report tabs.

Can I create a query filter using the "contains" operator in XI R2?
You can use the "Matches pattern" operator. To illustrate, the following example returns names that start with "Smi": [Last Name] Matches pattern Smi%. Here's another example that returns last names that contain the letters "mi": [Last Name] Matches pattern %mi%.
