Producing a system report

Access: Reports > Reports generator > Reports list

There cannot be more than 50 reports in the processed report list and, since they are kept for five days, to keep your reports, save them on your workstation.

The reports produced are kept for a period of five days. Save them to your workstation to keep them.

The Microsoft® Excel (non-formatted) format is a report format that has no title, no page numbering, no groups or totals. It holds column headings and data. This format is useful to manipulate data directly into Microsoft® Excel.

The orientation and the page format shown by default correspond to the values which optimize the presentation of the report. For example, if the width of the selected fields allows a “Portrait” orientation, this format will be selected by default.

The “Delimited text” format is convenient with an interface compatible with your external systems.

If you use the Report Creation function, note that the filter values can be defined by default in the report in order to accelerate production, but the filter values may still be modified at this step.
