Supply Usage Report Settings
Following are steps to complete the Specify report settings page for the Supply Usage report in the
Generate Report wizard.
1. In the Formatting (General) section:
●
Select the subtype for this report.
●
Select how to group the data. Each group will be a separate section of the report. You can also
select a primary and a secondary sort. To have the data sorted in ascending order, select
Ascending.
An example of this is Device Model. If chosen, HP Web Jetadmin groups all of the same device
models next to each other in the report.
●
Select how to sort the data. Data within each group (as specified above) will be sorted this way.
You can also select a primary and a secondary sort. To have the data sorted in ascending order,
select Ascending.
An example is IP Address: when chosen, HP Web Jetadmin orders the devices within the report by
their IP addresses. Of course, the ordering occurs within the Group by subsets.
●
To exclude any device that has no data collected for it, select Exclude devices with no collected
data.

●
Active Only: installed in the printer.

Editing the Schedule for a Report
Reports can be generated as you request them (if data collection has been enabled) or they can be scheduled
to be generated at a future time. This might reduce network traffic at particular heavy times, or it might give
the data collection process time to collect the data necessary to make the report meaningful.
