Using Save Report Settings

Use Save Report Settings to retain the filter settings, sort and grouping options, and any other modifications that you have made to a report. You can then easily create subsequent reports with similar settings.

You can use the Set Filter Defaults to specify default filter parameters that apply to all MessageStats Reports. You can then modify a report to more closely meet your specific needs by setting additional filters, adding or removing report fields, and changing filter or grouping options.

When you have finished modifying a report, you can use the Save Report Settings option to save the report settings. Each time you run the report, the query uses the settings that you have identified for that report.

Changing Grouping Options

After a report is generated, you can change the grouping options for the report. Each column header provides the facility to change grouping options.

The following illustration shows the grouping options that appear when you right-click the column header. The options that appear depend on the current settings.

Initially, the same options appear regardless of which column header you select. After you change the grouping options, the list changes to reflect your current settings.

Setting Security

MessageStats Reports includes a flexible solution for report security which allows you to assign certain permissions to users, and enable different views of the reporting tree depending on user needs and security requirements.

MessageStats Reports supports two types of security:

•
Role-based security which is inherent in MessageStats Reports. For more information, see Role-based Security .
•
File-based permissions security which requires NTFS manipulation of your network. For more information, see File-System Based Security .

Role-based Security

Role-based security provides an initial layer of security for your reports. Three local security groups, each with specific permissions, are created when MessageStats Reports is installed:

•
Web Report Administrators
•
Web Report Authors
•
Web Report Users

TAll three security groups have access to the report site and to all reports. The roles (Administrator, Author, User) provide different permissions that can restrict the ways reports can be manipulated.

The default membership to these security groups puts administrators in the Web Report Administrator role, and all other users in both the Web Report Authors and Web Report Users roles.

To customize the memberships, you can add or remove users from the default groups. You can specify which users belong to which roles by modifying their membership in these local groups. The role-based security scheme is easier to manage than the file-system permissions security scheme, as the changes to these security groups immediately affect all reports.

The following table shows the actions associated with each role:
