Displaying Scheduled Reports

You can use the web-based UI to view scheduled reports. The IDs of all types of defined reports display in the Reports navigation tree as subfolders of the Scheduled Reports folder, as shown in Figure 2-27. Reports generated by the Report Generate and placed in user-specified directories display as children (or leaf nodes) in the subfolders of the corresponding report type. Clicking on a report node brings up a window with that report displayed. Reports stored in the Cisco NetFlow Collector report XML format are formatted into tabular form. Reports stored in other formats are loaded as is and the presentation is left to the browser.

Note Scheduled reports do not support the advanced features, such as (Filter and Drill Down) of Custom and Common reports.
