You can generate a report, where you view a temporary copy of the report, or save a report, where

a copy is retained in XP Performance Advisor, so you can view the report when you want. You can

also schedule a report on a periodic basis, where data is automatically provided in the corresponding

report for the duration that you specify.

IMPORTANT:

• If you have logged in as an Administrator or a user with administrative privileges, you can generate

or save reports, or schedule this activity periodically.

• If you have logged in with user privileges, you cannot schedule but only generate or save reports.

You can also create or schedule reports on favorite charts. For more information, see “Creating reports

for favorite charts” on page 248.
