200 CHAPTER 9: REPORTING
Custom Report Types
Dialog
The Custom Report Types dialog enables you to:
■ Create new custom reports
■ Edit existing custom reports
■ Delete custom reports
The list shown in Figure 91, displays any custom reports already created.
It does not list any of the pre-defined reports.
Figure 91 Custom Report Types
The panel in this dialog entitled Information included in this report works
in the same way as the panel in the main reports dialog.
If you edit an existing report, you are warned that if you change the
columns used in the report then 3Com Network Administrator will
remove any existing reports (i.e. the reports in the history tabbed pane of
the Main Reports dialog) that were generated from that report type.
However, if you edit the report and only change the description (i.e. you
do not change the columns), all generated reports for that report will be
preserved. If you then click View Report for one of these generated
reports (or Save to CSV) the new description will be used.
