Short Answer: Yes — when a report is set to Public, anyone with the link can view it. The public page shows the report title and a 'Download report' button.
Answer
PreRequisites
-
The report owner has set Report access to Public in the Share dialog.
-
You have the public report link.
Steps
-
Open the public report link in any browser.
You land on a page showing the report title (e.g., Bank reconciliation report), a 'Download report' button, and the Recon ID. -
Click 'Download report' if you want to download the file.
The report downloads directly without requiring sign-in.
Troubleshooting
-
Public link prompts you to sign in.
Likely Cause:
• The report is still set to Private, not Public.
Action:
• Ask the report owner to change Report access to Public in the Share dialog.
• Request them to share the updated public link again.
Note: The public page may show options like 'Sign in' or 'Start for free', but login is not required to view or download the report when access is set to Public.
