464 CHAPTER 11: CREATING REPORTS
There are two lists as follows:
■ Available columns — lists columns that can be included in the report.
Select the column and click Include - > to add the column to the
report.
■ Included columns — lists columns included in the report. Included
columns will be used to compose a table for the Custom report and
will be ordered from left to right as the list is ordered from top to
bottom. For example, in the Add/Edit Report Type Wizard - Columns
Step, Device Name will be the first column in the report. To remove a
column from the report, select the column and click < - Exclude.
Once columns are included in a report, you can change the order the
columns appear in by selecting an entry in the included columns and
clicking Move Up or Move Down to change their position in the table.
The topmost entry in the list appears on the far left of the table and so
on.
The first column is used to sort the entire report so if you wish to sort the
report by device name, for example, then ensure the Device Name
column is first in the report.
The columns available for a report change depending on the selected
Content, either Node Details or Link Details. Tab l e 80
shows the available
columns:
