If you edit an existing report type, you are warned that if you change the columns used in the report type then 3Com Network Director will remove any existing reports (i.e. the reports listed in the History tabbed pane of the Reports dialog box) that were generated from that report type. However, if you edit the report type and only change the description (i.e. you do not change the columns), all generated reports for that report type will be preserved. If you then click View Report for one of these generated reports (or Save to CSV) the new description will be used.
Add/Edit Report Type From the Add/Edit Report Type Wizard you can add and amend report Wizard types that detail information about the 3Com devices on your network.
The Add/Edit Report Type Wizard can be launched from the Custom
Report Types dialog box.
