Exporting Reports

Exporting reports allows you to save reports to a format which can serve several purposes:

•
You can further analyze the data in a third party application, such as Microsoft Excel.
•
You can share information with users who need the data in different formats for presentation, such as HTML or Microsoft Word.
•
You can use the exported data as input data into other applications, such as SAP.

The export functionality allows you to do one-time report exports. If you want to schedule the regular creation of exported reports, use the Subscription functionality. For more information, see Configuring Report Subscriptions .

Exporting Part of a Report

In addition to exporting an entire report using the Export function on the File menu, you can also export selected portions of a report.

To export selected portions of a report

2
Right-click and select Export Selection.

There are several ways to navigate and access the reports:

•
Toolbar buttons provide navigation functionality, as well as edit and preview custom reports, access the File menu, and print the current report. For information, see Using the Toolbar Buttons .
•
Treeview is used to navigate through report branches. For information, see Using the Treeview .
•
Listview displays a description of all the reports within a folder. For information, see Using the Listview .
•
Linked reports allow you to drill down from summary report into a detailed report based on a link on a data result. For information, see Using Linked Reports .
•
Parts are standard report components containing text-based information and graphs that you can include in certain reports. For information, see Configuring Report Parts .

The Information button allows you to view the groupings, filters, and field descriptions for your selected report. For information, see About MessageStats Reports .

Using the Treeview

MessageStatsReports uses a treeview as its main navigational tool. The treeview contains folders that expand to reveal subfolders and reports.

When you select a folder from the treeview, descriptions and links to the reports in the folder are displayed in the right pane in a file-based format. If you expand the treeview, you can also select a report directly.

Folders are used to group the reports about different aspects of your Exchange environment and messaging traffic.

When you click on a report, the contents appear in the right pane.

Depending on your security role, you may not be able to see some of the branches of the treeview.
