Create a Report

You can create a report that is based on an existing template, and then export, save, or print the report.

Notes:

• If an error is encountered while creating or exporting a report, a message is displayed in the right pane.
• The maximum report size is approximately 10,000 pages when 1 GB of available memory has been allocated to the java heap memory. When creating a report, if the limit is exceeded, an error message is displayed and the report being generated is canceled.

Follow these steps:

1. Do one of the following:
   • Click Create Report in the Reporting Dashboard, select the appropriate template from the Create Report: Select Template dialog, and then click OK.
   • Click the appropriate report template in the Navigation pane.
   • Right-click the appropriate report template in the Navigation pane and select Create from the pop-up menu.

   The Create Report dialog opens.

2. Select the appropriate server or servers from the Servers in Reporting DB section.
3. Do one of the following:
   • Select the Predefined option in the Date Time Range section and select a range from the drop-down list.
   • Select the Custom option in the Date Time Range section and enter date and time specifications.

     Note: Clicking opens the Date Picker, so you can select a date to populate the Start Date and End Date fields.

4. Do one of the following:
   • Click Finish to complete the report if no other parameters are required.
   • Click Next to continue.
5. Select the appropriate machine or machines from the Machines in Reporting DB section, if applicable.
6. (Optional) Enter the appropriate job name pattern in the Job Name Filter field, if applicable.
7. (Optional) Select the appropriate field by which to sort the report from the Sort by drop-down list, and then select ascending or descending.
8. Click Finish.

   The dialog closes. The generated report is displayed in the Reporting pane and listed in the Navigation pane in the Reports section.

Notes:

• An underscore and sequential number is appended to each report listed in the Reports section in the Navigation pane. For example, you can have Summary_1 and Summary_2 listed in the reports section if the report was run twice.
• Reports are available for the current session only. To save the report, export the report to the appropriate format and then save it.
• You can use the pagination field to view specific pages or ranges of pages in the report.
