Existing reports from legacy tools working with Stories in People Analytics

Stories in People Analytics is a new Reporting tool and will have no impact on the legacy reporting tools. You can continue to run your existing reports and start to use Story reports with no issue.

Reusing existing data source queries to create new Story reports

Currently, a query build is tied to a single Story and cannot be used outside of that report.

Story reports and instance refresh

Story reports do not get copied over as part of the Instance Refresh process to allow you to have the required set of stories selectively in the instance post refresh. You can move the reports from source to target, and can also keep a backup from the target instance prior to the Instance Refresh using the export/import functionality. This way you’d be selectively keep the desired Stories in the instance.
