Setting a favorite report

On View Reports page, you can select any report (s) to mark it as a favorite report to easily access it from the list of predefined reports.

To set a favorite report:
1
In the Navigation pane, click View Reports.
2
On the View Reports page, click the empty star next to the report in the first column that you want to favorite.

The favorite reports are displayed on top of the list in alphabetical order, followed by the remaining reports.

To remove a favorite from the reports list, click a filled-in star next to the report.

Setting filters for report

When you run a canned report that includes any filter conditions, the Set filters for report dialog box is displayed. You can set one or more conditions, based on which the reporting system generates the output. For each filter field that you want to use, you must select the filter operator and specify the comparison value. For example, the following Set filters for report dialog box is displayed for the report- Data Stored By Client.

To set report filters:

In the operator list corresponding to the filter field, select the comparison operator. You can use the following comparison operators: =, !=, >, <, >= or <=.

In the associated box, type the comparison value. The value must match the data type of the field.
Fields can be of the following types: date, integer, string, or time.
To specify date values, you can use the following formats:
•

Example: TODAY-7DA
To specify time values, you can use the following formats:
•
HH:MM:SS

Some reports may also include the following filter options:
•
State: You can select this check box to compare the field state as opposed to the value it contains. The field state comparison option is designed for advanced users who have a good understanding of the NetVault reporting system.
You can set the field status to one of the following values:
•
Normal
•
N/A
•
Unknown
•
Never
•
Unlimited
For example, you can specify the state Unknown to find or exclude records that are not available in one of the tables.
•
Regexp: You can select this check box to match a regular expression instead of a constant value. The expression can contain text and wildcard characters.
•
As above: The As above check box is shown when the same filter field is applied to multiple report components. You can select this check box to use the same comparison value that is configured for the preceding field.
