			the Cisco NetFlow Collector data files
			being reported can be much greater than
			the number of the records one might want

			records in descending (or ascending)
			order, according to a user-specified value
			field, and present the first or last N
			records in the report. To show the relative
			magnitude of data that is not displayed,

After filling in the fields in the Custom Report window, you can select one of the following actions:

•Generate—Runs the report in a separate browser window. A progress bar is shown until the report is displayed.

•Generate XML—Displays the underlying report XML in the browser window, which you can save as a file.

•Save as Template—Saves the report form contents as a template.

Report Templates

In NetFlow Collector Release 6.0, Report Templates replace and improve upon the Common Reports feature in previous releases. You can save the contents of a partially filled out custom report form as a template by selecting Save as Template and naming the template. You can then recall the template at any later time to run the report. This is particularly useful when used in conjunction with a relative date and time specification in the custom report form.

Report Templates are listed in the navigation tree under Custom Reports. When you select Custom Reports in the navigation tree, the list of Report Templates is displayed as displayed in Figure 2-24. To run a report based on the template, select the template name in the navigation tree or select Create report in the report template list. You can remove a template by selecting Remove in the Report Template list.
