Add a a saved default feature in the "Fields to include in the report" section for running reports.
I would like to be able create a saved configuration option in the report section, so that I don’t need to select the fields I need each time I run a report

I love the idea of being able to save a report configuration. I also agree that all of the fields should be in the Do not include these fields window initially.

The recent UI update (July 2021) to the report page made everything so much worse. Yes, it looks better, but we lost the function of being able to add multiple report fields at one time. Now, I have to select each of the dozens of fields ONE-BY-ONE instead of being able to select them all and move them over to the "include" column. Also, why do these reports reset each time?! It makes me want to scream each time I have to recreate my report from scratch.

It would also be helpful if more of the report categories were available for searching in the first place--department, degree, and advisor would be very useful for me, for instance.

Currently, when I'm running a report, I always have to rearrange the order of the available data columns. It would be nice to be able to save the order of data columns via a "Saved Searches" feature, which would then also save the items in section 1 of that page (status, last event, assigned to, etc.).

In my opinion, when running a report, the fields should initially be in the Do not include these fields window. While it is nice to have all the fields, but most reports my department runs don't contain all or even 2/3 of the fields. It depends on what information we want to see or analyze. We would rather add the fields we want instead of removing the fields we don't want. Saves a lot of time.
