Managing Generated Reports

After a reports runs, information about the report is recorded on the Generated Reports page, as shown in Table 1.

From the Generated Reports page, you can either select the check box in the heading to select all of the reports or select the check box for the individual reports and:

• View details about the running of the report by clicking Report Details.

• Export the report by clicking Export.

• Delete the report by clicking Delete.

Use the Generated Report Details window to see information about the report composition. Viewing the Report Details is helpful when a report comprises many smaller reports. See Table 2 for these field descriptions.

Reports are kept on the application server until either you delete them or they are deleted by the system. The amount of time a report is saved on the system depends on the report retention settings for Network Director. Network Administrators can globally set the report retention period for reports in the system Preferences, located in the Network Director banner.

Use the Export Report window to store multiple reports to a file location. Because reports can be large, they are delivered as compressed zipped files for both viewing or storing. After you choose a report to export, you are prompted to select a program to view the report or to download the file.

You can either unzip the report for viewing or save the report to a file location.

Use Delete to discard unneeded or outdated reports. When you click Delete, you are prompted to confirm the file deletion. Because deleted reports cannot be recovered, save the report offline before deleting them from the system.
