Report Manager
This documentation applies to NMS version 5.4. An online version of the software can be found here.
The Report Manager lists the reports you create plus any shared reports from the users in your role. This page provides access to the workflows that enable you to combine and customize several graphs, tables, and other individual reports into a single easy to retrieve report. The Report Manager enables you to manage reports, to manage report templates, and to mark a report to appear as your custom dashboard when you log on.
To access the Report Manager from the navigation bar, click the Reports menu and select Report Manager.
Report Fundamentals
Reports and report templates eliminate the need to repeatedly create the individual graphs and tables each time you want to view data. Chaining enables you to add related attachments to a report.
-
Reports enable you to create and save a collection of report attachments for specific devices resources or for specific objects resources so that you can retrieve the same data from the same resources at any time.
-
Report Templates are similar to reports with the added ability to define template attachments that do not have a specific resource. You define the report template properties to enable template attachments to derive applicable device resources from the Device Summary workflows or to derive applicable object resources from the Object Summary workflows. Report templates enable you to create a report that has template attachments without a specific resource and attachments with specific resources.
-
Chaining enables you to use the settings from an attachment to create a related attachment.
There are four fundamental parts to define a report.
-
The Report Manager enables you to manage reports, to manage report templates, and is an access point to all of the following report management workflows.
-
The Report Attachment Wizard enables you to create and maintain the attachments that are the content of the report that contain the tables, graphs, and charts of data.
-
The report appears on a new browser tab to enable you to define the attachment locations, chain attachments, use the report in a slide show, mark the report as a favorite or mark the report as a dashboard, change the data refresh rate, define the report time span, export the report to a .pdf format, export an attachment to a .csv format, and to lock a report to prevent the addition of new attachments.
-
The Report Properties enables you to define the overall report name, view the report structure, and define the report sharing permissions. The Report Properties enables you to define report email delivery and FTP delivery settings and to define report template access settings.
