Working with reports - Custom reports

Using custom reports, you can define the contents of your own reports, and keep control over who has access to that report. Additionally, you can schedule the report to be sent by e-mail on a daily, weekly, monthly or even quarterly basis. Each report can also be downloaded afterwards, using the Log tab of the report.

You can change the following settings:

General
Name of the report, whether the report is displayed in the menu, and which operators and operator groups have access to the report.

Layout
By dragging metrics onto the green columns, you define which data is shown in the report, as well as the order in which the columns are displayed.

The blue area lets you define how the data will be grouped: by day, week or month, by probe, by checkpoint, and so on. You are free to choose any combination that is useful to you.

Chart
When you choose to group your data by Date/Time, the chart type will be set to a time chart automatically. When you select a different grouping, you can choose between a bar chart and a pie chart. If you do not want a chart in your report, you can also turn it off.

Filters
Setting filters allows you to zoom in further on the data in your report.

Date filter:
Lets you set the date period for your report. This period will automatically be adjusted if you set a recurring schedule for e-mail delivery.

Error level filter:
Do you only want to report on the times when your probes were working correctly, or do you want to include your probe errors as well? Choose any combination you like.

Probes and probe groups filter:
Choose any combination of probes and/or probe groups. When you don't select anything, the report will include all your probes.

Checkpoint filter:
Lets you decide whether you want to include results from all checkpoints, or from a limited set.

E-mail
You can optionally schedule the report as a recurring e-mail.

Choose which operators and/or operator groups should receive the report; you can add additional e-mail addresses if you want to.

Using the time settings, you can set decide whether to send the report on a daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly basis, and on which day in that period. You can even set the time for delivery (in your timezone), as well as the format (Pdf or Excel) of the e-mail attachment.
