Run consolidated organization reports

Run consolidated organization reports

If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, you can run reports that consolidate the information from all organizations into a single report.

1.
Go to the Reports list:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Reporting, then click Reports.
2.
In the Generate Report column, click a format type for the report.
HTML reports are displayed in a new window. For other formats, you can open the file or save it to your device.
* 
NOTE: Charts and graphs cannot be created from within the appliance reporting tool. To create charts or graphs, generate a report in XLS (Microsoft Excel) or CSV (comma-separated value) format, then import the data into a tool that has chart or graph capabilities, such as Microsoft Excel.
NOTE: Be aware that multibyte characters, such as those used to support Japanese and Chinese character sets, might display as "garbage characters" when CSV files are imported to Excel. For more information, contact Quest Support at https://support.quest.com/contact-support.
