The Reports workspace displays reports of accumulated data compiled by the managed
device and the SMS. These reports detail the threats that the system encounters, and
they record processing trends. The Reports screen also provides IPS network statistics
as well as report management and scheduling features.
The Reports workspace includes a Templates folder that displays the standard set of
pre-defined report templates, a Saved Reports folder that displays the results and
schedules for each saved report, and an All Schedules folder that displays the report
schedule for each saved report.
From the Reports workspace, you can do the following:
- Find a report template. Use the Templates folder to quickly navigate to a set of reports in a particular category. See Templates.
- Display or run the report. Click a report title. Either the previously generated report appears, or you can apply criteria filters to run the report. See Run a report.
- Create, save, and schedule a report. Click Create Report (on the Saved Reports screen) to generate the report. Alternatively, you can save a report by selecting a report template and applying criteria filters. For example, you can create a report from scratch by uploading a logo, selecting default colors, editing criteria filters, and then saving it. The next time you need to run a report, you can select the saved report to automatically use what was saved from the report template. See Create a saved report.
- View saved report results and schedules. Click the Saved Reports folder to view a list of saved report results and originating report templates. You can modify the criteria filters and customize a saved report. You can also review, edit, or delete the report schedule. See Saved reports.
- Export the data. On saved reports, click Export Result to convert the report to a different format and to select an export type. See Export report results.
- Manage report schedules. Click All Schedules to view all of the report schedules that you created. See All schedules
