    Saved Sensor Reports section This section of the Available Reports view allows you to view, edit, rename, or delete saved reports. Note Reports are saved using the "Name and Schedule Data Export" display, accessed from the Edit Report Criteria icon, or by using the Save icon in the view for a graph-format report. You can use the right-click options to perform the following functions: Edit the date range or sensors for a selected report using the "Edit Report Criteria" display (Edit Report Criteria option). Edit the name or export properties for a selected report using the "Name and Schedule Data Export" display (Edit Report Scheduling option). Modify the name of a selected report (Rename option). Delete a selected report (Delete option).  

    Reports perspective The Reports perspective provides access to predefined snapshot reports, and sensor history reports you create, about the devices monitored by the server. The Reports perspective allows you to generate, view, and export reports in HTML, CSV (comma-delimited), or PDF format, for the device groups selected. Available Reports: lists the snapshot reports, sensor history reports, and saved sensor reports available for the devices the Data Center Expert server monitors, and allows you to generate those reports for selected device groups and devices. Sensor History Reports: allows you to generate and customize sensor history reports for the devices the Data Center Expert server monitors. Sensor history reports can be saved in the Saved Sensor Reports section, and exported in graph-format, or viewed and exported in table-format or summary-format. Snapshot Reports: allows you to generate a report, containing data for the particular time at which the report is generated, for the devices the Data Center Expert server monitors. Snapshot reports can be viewed in graph-format only, and exported to HTML, CSV (comma-delimited), or PDF. Saved Sensor Reports: allows you to view, edit, rename, delete, and export sensor history reports you have saved. Report Views: display snapshot reports, and sensor history reports, generated for the device groups selected, and allows you to export those reports. See Snapshot Reports and Sensor History Reports for more information.  

    Managing the export action configurations You can add new export action configurations, or edit existing configurations, using the "Export Action Configuration" display, accessed from the Manage Export Scheduling option of the Reports menu. Note To remove an export action configuration, select it in the list and click Remove Export. Adding a new export action configuration Select Export Action Configuration, accessed from the Manage Export Scheduling option in the Reports menu. Alternatively, click the Edit Report Scheduling option in the Saved Sensor Reports section of the Reports perspective, or click the Edit Report Criteria icon in a graph-format report, to access the Name and Schedule Data Export option. In the "Export Action Configuration" display, click Add Export to access the "Add Export" wizard. Alternatively, in the "Name and Schedule Data Export" display, click Add Export to access the "Add Export" wizard. In the "Choose Export Type" display, select the type of export action configuration you want to add. In the settings display for the selected export type, define the settings. Note Each export type uses its own settings display to add or edit an export configuration. Click Test Export to test the export settings. Note   You need to verify the test was successful. For example, for e-mail settings, verify an e-mail was received. Editing an export action configuration Select Export Action Configuration, accessed from the Manage Export Scheduling option in the Reports menu. In the "Export Action Configuration" display, select a listed export, and click Edit Export. In the settings display for the selected export configuration, define the settings. Note Each export type uses the its own settings display to add or edit an export configuration. Click Test Export to test the edited export settings. Note You need to verify the test was successful. For example, for e-mail settings, verify the e-mail was received.  

  A summary-format report shares all of the same features as a table-format report, with the following exceptions: A table-format report provides entries for each value change at those sensors during the reports time-frame; a summary-format report provides a single entry for each selected sensor that summarizes the values at those sensors during the reports time-frame. Unlike a table-format report, a summary-format report does not include a Status column. Note: A summary-format report includes information about the Last Known Value, which has a different meaning than the Value reported by a table-format report. Only a summary report includes the following information: Column Description Minimum Value The lowest value recorded during the time-frame of the report. Maximum Value The highest value recorded during the time-frame of the report. Average Value The average of the values recorded during the time-frame of the report. Last Known Value The most recent value recorded before the end of the time-frame of the report. Delta Value The difference between the minimum and maximum values recorded during the time-frame of the report. Total for Delta Value The total of the delta values for the sensors in the report, included when Show Total for Delta Value is selected in the "Edit Report Options" display. Note: The Show Total for Delta Value option is available only when all sensors in the report are the same type.
