Create global report template

The report templates defined on the Report Layouts page on the Administration Tasks tab define the header and footer information to include the search results report. You can use the default report template or create a custom report template using the Report Layout page.

The Report Layouts page is displayed when Report Layouts is selected from the Configuration task list in the navigation pane of the Administration Tasks tab. From this page you can add, edit, or delete global report templates.

The Report Layouts page contains all the report templates that have been previously defined. Initially, this list contains the Default template, which is used for all search results reports unless changed on the Report tab of a search’s Search Properties tabs.

Select Report Layouts in the Configuration task list to open the Report Layouts page.

Click Add to display the New Report Layout dialog. Enter a descriptive name for the new report template and click OK.
To add a page header, click the Page Header button. Click the report grid and the header pane is added to the top of the page. Use the arrow controls or Height setting in the Properties pane to resize the header pane.
To add the report title to the page header pane, click the Text button. Move the pencil cursor in the heading pane where you want to place the report title and click. Open the System Variable tab in the Text Editor, locate the ReportName variable. Double-click the variable to add it to the text pane. Click OK to save your selection and close the Text Editor.
Back on the report grid, you can resize the {ReportName} text box to prevent the report titles from being truncated. You can also use the settings in the Properties pane to modify the font, size, color, and so forth.
To add a page footer (for example, page number), click the Page Footer button. Click the report grid and the page footer pane is added to the bottom of the page. Use the arrow controls or Height setting in the Properties pane to resize the footer pane.
To add the page number to the page footer pane, click the Text button. Move the pencil cursor in the footer pane where you want to place the page number and click. Open the System Variables tab in the Text Editor, locate the page number variable to use (for example, PageNofM). Double-click the variable to add it to the text pane. Click OK to save your selection and close the Text Editor.

Define report content and layout

For each search, built-in or custom, the data displayed in both the client and in the associated report (when reporting is enabled) is predefined. However, you can use the Layout tab of the Search Properties tabs to customize the content (columns) to display for each individual search. See Layout tab in Custom Searches and Search Properties for a detailed description of the Layout tab.

Enable and schedule reporting

When reporting is enabled, a report containing the search results of an individual search, built-in, or custom, can be sent as an attachment through email to the designated recipients or written to a shared folder. Use the Report tab, which is one of the Search Properties tabs, to enable reporting for the selected search, define the format, and how and when to distribute the report.

To email reports, you need to enable SMTP for alerting and reporting and specify the Mail Server to use in the SMTP Configuration pane on the Coordinator Configuration page. The same SMTP configuration is used for both alert notifications and reporting. See SMTP Configuration for more information.

To send reports to a shared folder, you need to enable shared folders for reports and specify the credentials that will be used to write to a shared folder. See Shared Folder Configuration for details.

Change Auditor calculates the Next Run of the reports, archive, and purge jobs based on the master time zone. For new deployments, the maser time zone is set to the time zone of the server where the first coordinator is installed. During an upgrade, the master time zone is set to UTC. You can manually change the master time zone, using the set-CAScheduleMaserTimeZone and get-CAScheduleMasterTimeZone commands. See the Change Audit PowerSell Command User Guide for details. Quest recommends that you set the master time zone to the time zone where most the users are located.

The Report tab displays the current report configuration for the selected search definition. From the Report tab you can perform the following tasks:

Use the controls on the Report tab as described in the following table:

Click Collapse Properties (down arrow) to hide these additional properties and show the other settings available on the Report Configuration pane.

Send to a shared folder

Use to select a shared folder to write reports to. You must enter a network path; a local address will not be accepted.

The To field is automatically populated with the default shared folder path. However, you can specify a different path.

The credentials from the Shared Folder Configuration are used to write reports to the shared folder. (The credentials are specified under the coordinator configuration Shared Folder Configuration option. See Shared Folder Configuration for details.) Ensure that the account has permissions to write to the shared folder.

If you change the shared folder, the new path does not display in the search grid until you refresh the searches tree (click F5 while on the searches tree).

Do not send empty reports

When selected, a report will not be sent to email or a shard folder if it does not contain any results.
