Accessing Reports

NOTE: Power BI stores your login credentials on the computer you use. This means you will only need to log in again when you change your password. It also means your credentials are stored on any computer you use unless you clear the browser history after each use or use a private browsing window to access the site. For more information see the Phoenix Reports - Non-Providers Quick Start (Administrators and Secretaries) or Phoenix Reports - Provider Quick Start (Special Education Teachers, SLPs, Related Service Providers).

Using the Phoenix application

  1. Login to Phoenix.

  2. On the Header Navigation menu, click the Reports icon.
