The Reports tab allows easy access to report functionality for a device or set of devices.

The two main areas of this feature allow you to access the two main reporting tasks:

●Data Collection: Must be enabled for devices to ensure the raw data is present to generate reports. Turning on data collection (by checking the check box and clicking Apply) enables this process. The Job Data collection option enables the Jobs by user: color/mono report. The Device Data collection enables the Device pages: color/mono report.

●Report Generation: Select the type of report to generate.
