Overview
SyncThru™ Admin 5 provides reporting capabilities for devices. You can create, display and send reports on statuses,
usage, alerts, consumables, assets and accounting information. The data is collected in a database that can be used to
generate reports.
Basically, SyncThru™ Admin 5 analyzes the devices’ information with time, historical reports, current reports, and
proactive reports. A historical report is to provide analysis for accumulated data and a proactive report is to provide
forecasting based on the collected data. You can better understand your printing environment using these various reports.
From SyncThru™ Admin 5, click the Analysis & Reports menu.
Please see Settings menu > Settings > SyncThru Management > Database > Report Data Management. This
report part depends on the Report Data Management settings. For example, if you configure Report Retention
Times to Year, SyncThru™ Admin 5 will clean the report data every year. If you want to remove the report data with
a specific date, you can use the Clean report data before specified date option.
