Refresh reports

There is a button to click to refresh reports but it does not work.  It would be nice to have this feature but if there are not intentions to fix it, the button should be removed.  It is misleading to the user.  The user thinks his or her report has been refreshed but really he or she is still looking at old information.

    Please do not remove this button.

    The "Refresh" report button will let you refresh a User Defined report with the same parameters selected as opposed to F5 which will clear the parameter fields. We currently have over 130 User Defined reports and when you hit the Refresh button it will bring you back to the parameter page and you are able to tweak the parameters and re-run the report.

    Not sure what the current function of the "refresh" button is ? Can anyone clarify what is does now ?

    Agreed.  The refresh button should run the report again with the same options selected, if any.  Otherwise it's a nothing button.
