■ Save as CSV — click this button to display a standard file chooser

dialog prompting you for a file location to save the current selected

report in CSV form.

The CSV format used for exported reports is:

<Table Heading 1>, <Table Heading2>, ...

<Row 1 Column 1>, <Row 1 Column 2>, ...

<Row 2 Column 1>, <Row 2 Column 2>, ...

For example:

Misconfiguration and Optimizations Report

Misconfigured Link

End1, End 2

Switch1100-1 (Unit 1 Port 1), Switch1100-2 (Unit 1 Port

2)s

Switch3300-1 (Unit 2 Port 1), Switch3300-2 (Unit 1 Port 5)

Blocks of text (e.g. report description, table descriptions etc.) will not

appear in the CSV file.

■ Delete — click this button to display a dialog asking for delete

confirmation before the generated report is removed from the disk

and this table.

See “

Disk Usage” on page 207 for information on disk space usage by

the Reports feature.

The table of reports can be sorted by clicking on the column headers. This

is useful when trying to find a particular report to view or to aid deletion

of old reports, for example. It lists any reports that have been generated

since the current inventory file has been opened or created. It does not

include reports generated against other inventory files.

Any reports that are created against an untitled or new inventory file are

lost if that inventory file is not saved before closing it.
