Launch Report Designer

The report designer in Change Auditor uses StimulReport.Net components for designing reports. For a detailed description and functionality of each component available, click F1 to view the Stimulsoft online help (www.stimulsoft.com).

To launch the report designer:

Open the Searches page, locate and select a search definition.
2
Open the Report tab for the selected search and click Design Report.
The report designer appears allowing you to create a custom report layout for the selected search.

Publish reports

Publish reports

ChangeAuditor supports Microsoft's Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SRS), providing a comprehensive, server-based solution that enables the creation, management and delivery of both traditional, paper and interactive web-based reports. In this implementation, administrators no longer need to traverse the various auditing solutions to create the desired reports. Instead they can interact with a web-based reporting portal and simply subscribe to the reports they want to see.

You can also publish reports to the Quest Knowledge Portal which extends Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services to provide easy report management and delivery.

* 
NOTE: If you publish to SRS, reports are only available within the SRS reports website. Users will not be able to access them through the Quest Knowledge portal. However, if you publish to the Quest Knowledge Portal, reports will be available in both the SRS reports website and the Quest Knowledge Portal site.
Publishing reports to the Quest Knowledge Portal

Prerequisites

•
Download the Quest Knowledge Portal from here: https://www.quest.com/products/knowledge-portal/.
•
Install the Quest Knowledge portal.
•
Create the required QKP directory and a subdirectory under it called SharedDataSources.
* 
NOTE: This is only required if this is the first time that you have installed the Quest Knowledge Portal. If you have used it with any other Quest products, these directories will already have been created.
To install the Quest Knowledge Portal:
* 
NOTE: The Knowledge Portal can be installed either on the computer where SSRS is running or on a dedicated computer.
1
Run the Quest Knowledge Portal Setup.
2
Accept the license agreement and click Next.
3
Specify your full name and organization and click Next.
4
Specify the installation folder and make sure to select the Quest Knowledge Portal.
5
A requirements check is run to ensure your system conforms to the system requirements. If everything passes, select Proceed to Installation Wizard. If not, refer to the Quest Knowledge Portal documentation for the list of minimum system requirements.
6
Specify the site and virtual directory where to install the Knowledge Portal and click Next.
7
Specify the SQL Reporting Services server URL where the Quest Knowledge Portal will be installed and click Next.
* 
IMPORTANT: This URL (Http://SQLServerName/Reports) will be used to create the required directories.
8
Specify the default user name and password that will be used for:
•
Connecting to the SQL Server hosting the product databases
•
Searching for accounts in Active Directory when granting access rights to report users
9
Quest has a Software Improvement Program to help identify and improve the features you use most. Select the country where you are installing the Quest Knowledge Portal and click Next.
10
Click Next and wait for the installation to complete.
To create the required directories
1
Open the SRS Reports URL entered during the installation (Http://SQLServerName/Reports).
2
Click New Folder and create a directory called QKP.
3
Open the QKP directory and create a new folder called SharedDataResources.
