Creating a Report

Aruba Central allows you to generate a report for devices associated with a group, multi-group, label, or a site.

Although your page view is set to a specific group, site, or label, you can create reports for a different group, site, or a label. However, if your page view is set to an Instant Access Point (IAP) cluster or switch, you can schedule a report only for that IAP cluster or switch.
