General Settings for Scheduled Reports

Exporting a Scheduled Report

The Cisco UCE Historical Reporting Client saves scheduled reports in files. You can view, print, and

manipulate the data in these files with other programs. Unless you have changed the defaultExportPath

parameter in the hrcConfig.ini file, the Cisco UCE Historical Reporting client stores these files on the

client computer in the Cisco UCE Historical Reports\Reports directory, which is under the directory in

which you installed the Cisco UCE Historical Reporting system. (By default, the system installs in the

Program Files directory.)

By default, the client saves scheduled reports in a PDF file. Also by default, the client gives saved reports

a descriptive filename that indicates the name of the report, its language, its date and time of creation,

the login identification of the user who scheduled it, its scheduled recurrence, its date range, and the

format of the file. If desired, you can specify another format, location, and filename. (If you change the

filename, the client automatically adds descriptive information to the new filename when it creates the

file.)

When you specify that a generated report is to be saved, you can designate any of the formats shown in

Table 5-5 in Chapter 5, “Generating Historical Reports.”

To save a scheduled report in a file when the report runs, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1 Make sure that Export to File appears in the Export Type field in the Cisco UCE Historical Reports main

window. If Export to File does not appear, click the Export Type drop-down arrow, and then choose

Export to File from the list that appears.

Step 2 Change the default format, location, or filename for exported files by clicking Export Location.

(The Export Location button appears as “...” in the window.)

The Save As dialog box appears. The Cisco UCE Historical Reporting Client adds information to the

default filename shown in the filename field when the report is generated.

Step 3 Make changes in the Save As dialog box by doing the following:

• To change the location, use the Save In drop-down arrow, the Folder Name pane, or the Save In tools

to specify the directory in which to save the exported report.

• To change the filename, enter the new name in the File Name field, or click the drop-down arrow

and then choose it from the list of existing names. If you specify a filename that includes an

extension shown in Table 5-5 in Chapter 5, “Generating Historical Reports.” The system creates a

file in that format, regardless of the format that you select in the Save As field.

• To change the format, click the Save As Type drop-down arrow, and then choose the format in which

you want to save the report.

Step 4 Click Save.

Now you can choose detailed report settings. You also must choose schedule settings before the schedule

will execute.
