For most reports, the controls in the report menu are divided into four sections:

■1. Report Selection: controls the type of report that will be generated, see 5.3.4 Report Selection on page 5.17.

■2. Time Selection: controls the time or range of time for which the report is generated, see 5.3.5 Time Selection on page 5.31.

■3. Object Selection: controls the specific objects to be included in the report, see 5.3.6 Object Selection on page 5.33.

■4. Format Selection (web client only): controls the format of the report, see 5.3.7 Format Selection (Web interface only) on page 5.45.

NOTE: The Summary report does not include the Object selection, but provides options for selecting columns instead; see Select Summary Columns on page 5.24

NOTE: The Excel client does not include a Format Selection but instead allows you to choose and modify the charts and graphs after the report is generated. See 5.4 Working with Excel Charts on page 5.52 for details.

NOTE: Adaptive Optimization reports have different options for the report selection and do not include the object selection section. For details on Adaptive Optimization reports, see Chapter 9, Using Adaptive Optimization.

Use the controls in the menu to select the desired report parameters and then click Generate Report. See Figure 5-4for a listing of the controls that are available for each report and then consult the relevant sections later in this chapter for complete details.

CAUTION: Filtering large numbers of objects may exceed the limit for your server, in which case you should reduce the number of objects being filtered and try again.
