Process

Generating Reports in the Central System Administration Session

You can generate reports in HTML, Word, and PDF format by using the function buttons at the top of the session window. You are given the option to create either a task log history or a task session report.

To specify the reporting period and content for the task log history, proceed as follows:

In the navigation area, choose Administration Reporting Report Content .
On the Tasks Log History tab, all tasks relevant to the report are displayed.
On the Define Content for Task Log History tab, you can define the following:
- To display only those tasks in the report that have a comment, choose Display only Task Logs with Comments.
- To display only tasks within a specified time period, enter the Task Logs from Date and the Task Logs until Date.
- To display only tasks performed within a specified number of days of today's date, use the Number of Days field. For example, enter 10 to display only the tasks performed in the last 10 days. This field overrides the date range fields.
Note
You can also restrict the report content indirectly, by limiting the size or duration of the history. For more information, see Customizing Task Log Book and Task Log History.
