Overview
On hosted/cloud Jive, Community Manager Reports (CMR) may be mistakenly assumed to be “not installed” because it does not appear in Admin Console → System → Plugins. In hosted/cloud environments, CMR is accessed from the main application UI (or via a direct URL), not managed or validated through the Admin Console plugin list.
Key Information
- Expected behavior (hosted/cloud): CMR is not accessed/validated from Admin Console → System → Plugins.
- Global CMR access (UI navigation): User avatar (top right) → Manage → Community Manager Reports.
- Global CMR access (direct URL):
https://your_instance.domain.com/global-reports.jspa(replaceyour_instance.domain.comwith your Jive site domain). - Space/Group reporting: Available within the specific Space/Group via its Reports tab (if enabled/available for that Space/Group).
- If “Community Manager Reports” is missing under Manage: This typically indicates a menu visibility limitation (often permissions/role/UI availability), not a plugin installation failure.
- No defect identified: This scenario is a product navigation/feature-discovery issue in hosted/cloud Jive (not an error, crash, or infrastructure problem).
Customer Impact
No installation action is required to access CMR in hosted/cloud Jive.
If you can open CMR using Avatar → Manage → Community Manager Reports or load /global-reports.jspa, the feature is already available. If the menu item does not appear, collect a screenshot of the avatar dropdown menu to identify what is preventing it from displaying.
