Reports are created using the Create Report dialog accessed from the Classified Devices page, Generic Devices page, or User Classified Devices page. You can schedule reports to run at a frequency of your choosing and you can send these reports to the email addresses of one or more individuals.

  • Edit report configuration options.
  • Clone a report.
  • Delete a report.
  • Download or delete a specific run of a report.
