Report queue in FE NXT
There needs to be a way to look at a report that was recently run in NXT more than once. A real report queue would be ideal, where you could see all the reports you recently ran and go get them. Until the 2/28/22 update, the "notifications" pop-ups served as a workaround. The list of report completion notifications -- when you were on the Reporting tab -- would continue to grow as you ran more reports. If you left the notification there, you could go back and view that report again (or download, etc.) However, with their recent update the notification now goes away after you view the report once. (though oddly not after you export to Excel)
The reports in NXT look so much better and it is so much more user-friendly...but there is a long way to go to make it fully functional for reporting. This is but one frustrating example.

Please add queue to the web version. It saves so much time. I currently have over 50 reports scheduled. However, when that doesn't work, I have to re-do them all manually. Not helpful! Web view is definitely going backward in this area. Please update and add the queue function. Thanks!
The option to see recently run reports would be extremely helpful. Also, the Queue function in Database view allows users to run a batch of reports on demand and not necessarily by a preset schedule, which may not coincide with actual business needs.
I regularly use queue in the database version and having the ability to schedule and run multiple reports is powerful. I would really like to see this functionality added to the web version.
This change was very unfortunate. I agree that having the list of reports was very useful, especially since there isn't a report queue.
