Creating Custom Reports

You can create customized reports by selecting the Custom Reports tab from the Main Menu or by
choosing the Excel Client from the Extras Menu.

NOTE:

The web interface and Excel client for creating custom reports are identical except that

the Excel client charting functions are accessed separately from the main interface and provide
some additional flexibility.

In general, there are two main steps involved in creating a report:
1.

Choose a report, select the sample resolution, select the system(s) and/or domain(s) and click
the Build Report Menu button. This will build the report menu for that report in a new window
(or tab).

2.

Set the appropriate controls in the report menu and click the Generate Report button. The
report will be generated in a new window (or tab).

Building the Report Menu

you want to generate.
