Hello @Honey98,

In Business Central, reports like 1316 and 211 may not appear in global search because they are context-sensitive reports, meaning they are only available when opened from specific pages (e.g., Customer List) where required filters/parameters are automatically applied.

There is no standard way to make these reports globally searchable unless you create a page action, add them to a Role Center, or develop a small extension to expose them as standalone reports. As a workaround, you can continue accessing them from the relevant page (like Customer List), or ask your developer to make them available globally.

Hope this answer helps you!

If this answer helps you, kindly Mark it as verified answer.

Regards,
Mansi Soni

Mansi is correct. In Business Central, Report 211 and Report 1316 are typically exposed through specific pages and actions, so they may not be indexed for Tell Me (global search). That's why you can find and run them from the Customer List page but not from anywhere in the application.
Options to make them easier to access:

Add the report as an action on a page or Role Center.

Create a simple page extension or customization to expose the report directly.

Continue launching the report from the page where it is available by default.

There is no standard setting that automatically makes all context-dependent reports appear in global search.

Create a simple page extension or customization to expose the report directly:
If you want the report to be available without navigating to the Customer List page, you can add it as an action on a Role Center or another frequently used page through a page extension.
Example (AL) for exposing Report 211 from the Business Manager Role Center:

pageextension 50100 BusinessManagerRCExt extends "Business Manager Role Center"
{
actions
{
addlast(Sections)
{
action(RunReport211)
{
ApplicationArea = All;
Caption = 'Customer Report 211';
Image = Report;

trigger OnAction()
begin
Report.Run(211, true, true);
end;
}
}
}
}

For Report 1316, replace 211 with 1316.
Alternatively, you can add the action to another page that users access frequently. After publishing the extension, users can launch the report directly from that page, eliminating the need to navigate to the Customer List first.
Keep in mind that if the report expects customer-related filters or a specific record context, additional code may be needed to pass those filters when the report is run.
