Introduction to Corporate Exchange At A Glance

The default Corporate Exchange at a Glance report provides an enterprise-level view of your Exchange network. Additionally, the [My Reports] and [Corporate Reports] nodes of the MessageStats Reports tree contain the reports that you have customized or created using the MessageStats Web Report Wizard.

When you open MessageStats Reports, the Corporate Exchange at a Glance page appears as the default home page. The Corporate Exchange at a Glance page delivers a single view that provides a high-level overview of your Exchange environment and includes the following metrics:

•
The total number of physical messages sent to the organization, the total messages received and sent (both as a number and as a percent of the total), and internet messages sent and received (both as a number and percent of the total). For details, see What is the Definition of Physical and Logical Messages? .
•
A graph of the total internal and external messages sent and received. For details, see How Does MessageStats Determine Internal and External Messages? .
•
The total size of storage for an organization, including the volume and percentage of used space and free space.
•
A pie chart representing the private storage space, public storage space, other space, and free volume.
•
A table that describes the number of servers, connectors, mailboxes, mail contacts, distribution groups, and public folders for the Exchange organization. Each report result is a linked report to a detailed Inventory report. For information about Inventory reports, see Exchange Inventory Reports .

In addition to the default Corporate Exchange At A Glance metrics, you can customize the view using MessageStats parts. For more information, see Configuring Report Parts .

You can include or remove specific MessageStats parts to create a report that aligns with your business needs, priorities, and direction. By tailoring the report to your needs, you can save time navigating through various reports to view frequently-required information.

About My Reports

The [My Reports] node serves two purposes:

•
It provides access to the My Exchange at a Glance page.
•
It contains any custom reports that have been saved by a specific user account for personal viewing.

When you click the [My Reports] node, the My Exchange at a Glance page renders on the right pane of the reporting console. If you have created any new reports or saved any report settings on existing reports, the new or customized reports are listed under the [My Reports] folder in alphabetical order.

Depending on your Web Reports security role, you may not be able to create new Custom reports. For more information, see Role-based Security .

My Exchange at a Glance

You can use the My Exchange at a Glance page to create your own personalized “At a Glance” report. Initially, you click the Configure Parts button to create a report that contains customized composite report parts that are relevant to your particular area of responsibility.

Each MessageStats user can include report parts that are specific to individual interests and roles in the company. For example, an Exchange operations manager could include parts that contain information about traffic flow through the Exchange system, while migration teams might include parts that identify unused public folders in an Exchange organization.

When you create an initial My Exchange At A Glance report, you can remove the Introduction to My Exchange At A Glance part before you add any relevant parts to your report.
