94CHAPTER 11: OVERVIEW OF REPORTING

You can choose to delete raw data to reclaim disk space if required. See “Setting Global Report Options” on page 96 for more information about deleting raw report data.

■ Report output — If you have scheduled the output of a report

	instance as HTML, the generated HTML output is shown as a child of
	the raw data.
	You can display a summary of key information about the HTML
	output. See “Interpreting Summary Information” on page 94 for more
	information.
	You can choose to keep raw report data and HTML output files
	indefinitely, or automatically delete them after a specified period. See
	“Setting Global Report Options” on page 96 for more information.
Scheduling Reports	The Report Schedule dialog box is displayed automatically when you add
	a new report instance. Use this dialog box to schedule the report period:
	daily, weekly or monthly. You can reschedule reports at any time.
	If you do not specify a report period, the report instance is saved in the
	Report Manager, but no raw report data is gathered and no reports are
	output. You can use a report instance that is saved without scheduling
	output to generate ad hoc reports, or you can later reschedule it.
Rescheduling Reports	You use the Report Specification area of the Report Manager when
and Running Ad Hoc	carrying out these tasks. Use the Run Now function to generate an ad
Reports	hoc report.
	Reports may take some time to generate and so may not be available
	immediately. Other reports may be running or there may be a queue of
	reports waiting to be run.
Managing Raw Data	A summary of the key information for the selected raw data or HTML
and Report Output	output entry is displayed in the Reports area of the Report Manager. You
	can also view the selected output in a Web browser, change the data
	lifetime and display status information about the report instance and
	outputs.
	Interpreting Summary Information
	■ Report Type — Whether the selected entry is raw report data or
	HTML output.
