Sample reports

Sample reports showing realistic examples are available from the Reports – Report Generation task

module. By selecting any Report type and clicking on Sample, a report can be created. Although the

devices and data in the sample report are fictitious, the report is representative of a real report. All

the various options can be selected to see what the report will look like, with real-looking data. The

sample report that is created is also saved under the Reports – Archived Reports task module as an

HTML file.

saved to file at regular intervals. This is a very powerful automation feature.

2. From the Reports – Report Generation task module, select a Report type.

3. Click Schedule.

4. Click through the report configuration pages, choosing appropriate settings (the options available

depend on the report type selected, as described in the ”Report type definitions” section, starting

on page 17).

5. On the Specify destination options page, select how you want the report handled: Archive only

(saved under the Reports – Archived Reports task module on the Report Generation page) or

Email. If emailing the report, select the email addresses and File format for the email attachment

(HTML or CSV).

NOTE Selecting the Email option causes the report to be saved under the Reports – Archived

Reports task module as an HTML file.

6. On the Specify schedule options page, select

the Schedule Start time and the Recurrence.

Values are Once, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.

Each of these values has additional

parameters to choose from (Figure 39).

7. Click Next to display the Confirm page.
