- By default, all asset types are included with the permission. You can remove one or more asset types to restrict access those reports.
- Click Create Role to save the settings for a new role or click Save to save the settings for an existing role. Users who are assigned this role can see the Reports tab in the project workspace and access the reports for the permitted asset types.
Premigration Reports
Premigration reports provide detailed information about discovery tasks which get information about the various assets in the source tenant which you plan to migrate to the target tenant. These reports can be downloaded as Microsoft Excel files for offline inspection and migration planning.
Premigration reports are generated every time you run a discovery task for an Office 365 asset. The following is a list of discovery task commands that support report generation:
Accounts
Mailbox
OneDrive
SharePoint
|
Teams
M365 Groups
|
These reports are accessible from two places:
- Task details pane
To download a premigration report from the task details pane:
- Select any discovery task that is completed.
- From the task details pane, click Download premigration report.
- Reports tab in the project workspace
The Reports list view has the following columns:
- Task Name - name of the discovery task. The names indicated here are default names and may be different from task names that you have specified.
- Asset - name of the Microsoft 365 asset that is discovered in the source tenant.
- Type - type of report. This value should be premigration.
- Content - link to the Microsoft Excel file that will be downloaded when you click the link.
- Created - date and time when the report is created.
- Expiration - date and time when the report will expire and the download link will be deactivated. Reports are retained for 90 days.
To download a premigration report from the project workspace:
- Filter the list using the predefined filters: Asset Type and Report Type.
- Set Report Type = premigration
- Set Asset Type = Asset you want to get the report, or select 'Any'. The Asset Type filter dropdown also indicates the number of reports in the list for each asset type.
- From the Content column click Download.
Analyzing premigration reports
Reports are downloaded as a compressed ZIP file. You must extract the Microsoft Excel report.
Each report has a Summary worksheet. Helpful information about the objects discovered by the discovery task are presented in this worksheet.
If the asset type has related objects associated with each item, then more worksheets are added. For example, a SharePoint site discovery report will have additional worksheets like Webs and Lists. You may have to run additional discovery tasks to access information about related objects.
Comparison Reports
Comparison reports provide detailed information about various assets in the source and target tenants. These reports can be downloaded as Microsoft Excel files for offline inspection, migration planning and verification.
Comparison reports are generated every time you run a Collect Statistics task on a target tenant for an Office 365 asset. The following is a list of task commands that support comparison report generation. Generating comparison reports requires the selection of a specific option in the task wizard. See the topic about the collect statistics task wizard from the links provided in the list below.

Migration Reports
Migration Reports display error reports about migration tasks. Additionally, each migration workspace has its own Reports tab.
About Migration Reports
- The error report for a migration job is a CSV file with one or more rows. The maximum number of rows in the CSV file is 50K. You can download a report by clicking the Download link in the Error Log column. If there are no migration errors, a download link is not available.
- Error reports are retained for 30 days. You cannot modify this global setting. After 30 days the download link is replaced with the label Expired and you can no longer download the report.
- You can select one or more reports and delete them with the Delete action. If the reports are active when they are deleted, the row in the table will be removed and the report will be automatically purged after 30 days.
- Access to reports are secured with Role Based Access Control (RBAC). For example, if you have access to only Mail migration, the OneDrive reports are not visible.
- If a migration project is deleted, all associated data will be deleted, and any active reports will be purged after 30 days.
The columns in the reports list are as described bellow:
- Start Time - the date and time the migration task was started.
- Completed Time - the date and time the migration task completed.
- Source Name - name of the source tenant.
- Target Name - name of the target tenant.
- Object Type - name of the asset that is migrated.
- Object State - the state of the migration. Values are: Migrated, Partially Migrated, Migrated with Issues, Migration Failed and Migration Stopped.
- Processed Items - the number of asset items from the source tenant that were included in the migrattion.
- Failed Items - the number of asset items that could not be migrated successfully.
- Error Log - link to the report if available. If there are no migration errors, a download link is not available. After 30 days the download link is replaced with the label Expired.
- Expiry Date - date and time when the report will expire.
Exporting Reports
- You can download a single report by clicking the Download link in the Error Log column. If there are no migration errors, a download link is not available.
- You can select multiple rows and download the reports as a ZIP file when you click Error Log Export.
- You can select multiple rows and download the reports list when you click Export. Only rows are exported but not the report CSVs.
Filtering the Reports List
You can use the following predefined filters to retrieve a subset of the reports:
- Object Type - name of the asset that is migrated.
- Object State - the state of the migration. Values are: Any, Migrated, Partially Migrated, Migrated with Issues, Migration Failed and Migration Stopped.
- Has Failed Items: whether or not the migration has any failed items. Values are Yes or No. If there are one or more items that match a Yes or No value, the number of items are indicated as well.
Details of assets discovered, their migration states and other pertinent details are displayed in lists.
Each list has multiple columns that display properties of the list items. The first column in the list is the list selector. All lists have this column and cannot be hidden.
The list header contains the list selector and column headers.
To select the columns to display
- Click Edit Columns.
- From the drop-down, select the columns you want to display, or clear the check boxes of columns you want to hide. The list will be automatically updated to reflect your choices.
To configure the number of list items displayed on a page
Large lists can be better managed with paging. A long list is divided into smaller subsets called pages. Each page contains a fixed number of items or records. Only one page of data is displayed at a time, with navigation controls allowing users to move between pages.
At the bottom of lists, the count of items displayed in a page is indicated on the left-hand side, and page controls are available on the right-hand side.
- Click the Show dropdown. Then select the predefined number of items (25, 50 or 100) to display one page.
- Use the navigation controls to move between pages. The current page number is displayed as you scroll through the pages.
To select or deselect specific list items
When you want to perform an action on one or more list items, you must select the items.
- Select the corresponding check box in the list selector column of each list item that you want to select, or clear the check box to deselect the list item. Details of the most recently selected list item is displayed in the details pane that opens.
- Click anywhere in a specific list item to view the details of the item. Although you can view the list item details, the item is not considered as selected unless you select the check box in the corresponding list selector column.
To select or deselect multiple list items automatically
- Select the check box in the list selector column header. All list items across all pages are selected. Alternatively, click the drop down icon in the list selector column header, and then click Select All.
- Click the drop down icon in the list selector column header. Then click Select All on Page to select all list items on the current page.
- Click Reset Selection to clear all previously selected list items across all pages.
Lists could be large and hard to manage. You cannot scroll past 10,000 items or rows in a view. Use the Search box above this list to look for items that match your custom criteria.
To start a search:
- Use words, phrases, and special queries in your search.
- Click Search to get the search results. The search is performed across all fields. You can add search criteria to the search using facet filters on the left pane.
