Recruitment CRM: Use the Assigned to Current User Field to Create Dynamic Reports

You may wish to create reports that would be different for each User within your group that has assigned Prospects. Creating a different report for each assigned User can be time-consuming. The Assigned to Current User checkbox has been created to make creating these kinds of reports from the Prospect Object easier.

Filtering the report by Assigned to Current User will allow you to see Prospects assigned to you via the Assigned Primary Counselor / Recruiter field from the Prospect record. By then saving the report to a public folder other Users will be able to run the report and see only Prospects assigned to them when running the report without making any other changes.
