Customizing a report

You can customize reports in the Report details page and then save the customized report with a different name.

About this task

After you save a customized report you cannot modify any of the filters you applied to create the report because the report is considered "new". So make sure you are satisfied with all changes before you save the report. You can, however, apply new filters to the report.

Steps

  1. In the left navigation pane, click Reports, and then click Run Report for the report that you want to customize.
    The Report details page is displayed.
  2. Customize the report as necessary, and then click Actions > Save Customized Report As.
  3. In the Save Customized Report As dialog box, enter a name for the customized report and a brief description about the customization so that others will understand what the report displays.
    By default, the current report name is displayed.
  4. Click Save.
    If you receive the error message "Failed to save the custom report. The required file was not created", wait a few moments, and then click Save again. This issue has been seen when there is a slow connection between the web browser and the Unified Manager server.

Result

The customized report is saved and displayed in its respective report category in the Report details page.
