Add or Modify ToS Filters

You can add ToS filters or ToS group filters to restrict report data. You can filter for individual ToS values, use any ToS groups your Administrator has created, or use the default ToS group, All ToS.

ToS groups are useful for creating Custom Reports for specific classes of applications. For example, suppose that you want to watch applications that your IT department has classified as Gold Class applications. To facilitate reports on Gold Class applications, the Administrator creates a ToS group that includes the ToS values for those applications.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select Custom Reporting from the NFA console menu if the Custom Reporting page is not already open.
  2. Put the report in editable mode: Click the name of the report. If the report has been run previously, it runs again. In this case, click Edit in the Report Settings section at the top of the report page.

    The Report Definition Summary page opens, which contains links to the Custom Report wizard pages.

  3. Click ToS Filters.
  4. The Specify Filters & Rollup page of the Custom Report wizard opens.
  5. (Optional) Select one or more individual ToS values to include: Click Add ToS Filter

    The Protocol Index dialog opens.

  6. (Optional) Select one or more ToS groups to include: Click Add ToS Group Filter

    The ToS Group Index dialog opens.

    You return to the Select Filters & Rollup page of the Custom Report wizard.

  7. Check the list of filters and their Inclusion values.

    Items that have a value of 'Include' are in the report. You can remove data for a ToS value or ToS group temporarily by setting the Inclusion value for that item to 'Exclude.'

  8. Click Save Changes.

    Your changes are saved and you return to the Report Definition Summary.

  9. (Optional) Return to the report list by clicking one of these buttons:
