NetVault 13.0.3 - Administration Guide

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.

Fields can be of the following types: date, integer, string, or time.

To specify date values, you can use the following formats:

•

YYYY/MM/DD

•

Relative date: TODAY-n[time variable]

You can use the following time variables: YE = Year, MO = Month, WE = Week, DA = Date, HO = Hour, MI = Minute, and SE = Second

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:

•

For example, you can specify the state Unknown to find or exclude records that are not available in one of the tables.

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.

After setting the filters, click OK to close the dialog box.

On the View Reports page, select the report that you want to edit, and click Edit Report.

On the Edit Report Job Definition page, configure the following options.

Using notification methods to send reports by email or print reports

•

To send the report to other users, set up the notification profiles for the users. For more information, see Setting up user notification profile. By default, the report is generated in PDF file format and delivered as an email attachment.
