Reports

You can create and view reports about many kinds of information in the service. Reports can contain information about accounts, devices, or other general information. They might also contain traffic calculations and connection counters that helps in tracking the system activity.

You can create reports in the Reports section, but many reports can be generated in their context, such as user account reports in the Accounts section. Further, you can browse system logs by creating log reports, as described in Log Sub-System.

The reports section is divided in three parts:

• Account Reports
• Device Reports
• Other Reports

Reporting is versatile, and you can print or export the reports.

The common functionalities in reports are described below.

Report Views

A generated report is shown in a report view. The columns vary, but the controls are mostly the same for all.

As with all table views, you can sort the table by a column by clicking its header. Clicking again reverses the sorting order.

Columns

You can configure visible columns with the drop-down button in the right end of the header. You can drag the column headers to reorder them.

Such changes also apply to printed and export files. You can reset the column layout to original by clicking Reset layout.

Filtering

You can filter the items in the report by entering a search text in the Search box and clicking on the search button. The search is done on all other fields, except the user field.

The Filter options include:

Case-sensitive

Make the search case-sensitive.

Inverse filter

List all items except those matching the search text.

Regular expression

Use the search text as a regular expression for matching. The regular expressions follow the Java Regular Expressions format.

Highlight results

Highlights the matching parts of text with a color.

Printing

Exports the report as an HTML file, which you are prompted to download. To actually print it, open the downloaded file in your browser and print it.

Printing follows the table layout settings, such as columns visibility and order, as well as sorting.

Exporting

You can export the report as a CSV (comma-separated values) or an Excel (95, 97, 2000) file by clicking Export. This will open the export settings dialog, as described in Exporting as CSV or Excel.

The export file follows the settings for the visible columns and their order, as well as sorting.

Reset Layout

You can reset table layout settings, such as column reorderding or visibility, or sorting, by clicking Reset layout.

Refresh

Changes to the data can change in the background. To refresh the report to show the current data, click Refresh.
