Editing report job definitions

You can edit a report job definition to modify the report schedule or configure user‑defined events for the report. NetVault lets you distribute the generated reports by email or print the reports through the notification system.

* 
IMPORTANT: Once the tenant administrator or tenant user modifies the required reports to configure user-defined events, MSP administrator must be informed to set the notification profile for this event for the respective user groups of the tenant.
To edit a report job:
1
In the Navigation pane, click View Reports.
2
On the View Reports page, select the report that you want to edit, and click Edit Report.
3
On the Edit Report Job Definition page, configure the following options.

For more information, see Using notification methods to send reports by email reports.

Using notification methods to send reports by email reports

Customizing table views for reports

After a report is generated, you can modify the table views to include or exclude columns, change the column order, and add column totals and other aggregate values. You can add multiple table views for a component. The reporting system lets you save these settings to the job definition so that the custom format is used every time you run the report.

To customize table views for reports:

Access the report that you want to customize. For instructions on generating a report, see Generating reports.
2
In the report window, click the Settings link at the upper-right corner of the table. If the report contains multiple components, click the link associated with the table that you want to modify.
