You have not given enough details on your reporting setup; so my guess
would be to save the details into a new table. This would include data
such as:
* id (for the record)
* user_id
* report_id
* date_time
* parameters
The "parameters" are a text field; with the criteria/parameters which
created the report saved as a JSON object. That way if the report gets
extended you can still retrieve at least some of the criteria from the JSON
data.
You might also want to allow the allow the user to give their own
Title/Name to the report so they can more easily find it again (assuming
you give them a list to choose from); and perhaps the option to make it
private/public, depending on your setup.
But one thing you do not want to do is save the actual data from the
report!!
HTH.
