Tabs

Use the Reports tab to view the reports that contain the profile’s data.

Use the Options tab to set the options for the profile and remove data from the profile. This is also where you set the administrative options.

From left to right, these are the Update, Filter, Export, E-mail, Print, Previous Page, Top of Page, and Help icons.

The Update icon updates the profile with any new data in the log files and regenerates the reports.

The Filter icon opens the Custom Report Wizard so you can narrow the results displayed in the current report to a subset of the data. This icon is only available on the Reports tab.

The Export icon displays the Export options dialog box so you can export the report data to a spreadsheet, database, or word processor. This icon is only available on the Reports tab.

The E-mail icon displays the E-mail options screen so you can specify a recipient and report format and e-mail the current report. This icon is only available on the Reports tab.

The Print icon prints the current report. This icon is only available on the Reports tab.

Reports Tab

The Reports tab has two main sections — the left-hand panel, where you specify which report to display, and the main panel, which displays the report. Following is an example.

Left-hand Panel

The left-hand panel contains a calendar and a list of report types. The calendar is where you specify the time period whose data you want to see in the report.

The day or days whose data is currently displaying in the report are shaded (for example, May 3). If no days are shaded, the entire month’s data (and possibly more) is being displayed. (By default, the data from all the months appears.) The arrows on either side of the month display the previous (up arrow) or next (down arrow) month. The arrows to the right of each week display that week’s data.

The buttons along the bottom of the calendar are (from left to right) View Month, View Quarter, View Year, and View All. The button being used currently (if any) is depressed.

The report categories are shaded. Click a category to see a list of the reports in it.

Main Panel

The top line displays the name of the profile and the name of the report on the left, and the time period whose data is being displayed on the right. If any filters have been applied to this report, they will be listed on the next line. (Date filters are usually not listed with the other filters. Instead, date filters change the time period listed on the top line.)

The next part of the report is the graph. (A graph is not available on all reports.)

The data set is listed to the upper left of the graph. You can click the data set to change which column of data in the report is being graphed.

The graph type icons are to the upper right of the graph, above the legend. These icons enable you to choose the type of graph that presents the data.

From left to right, these are the Pie Chart, Line Chart, Bar Chart, 3D Pie Chart, and 3D Bar Chart icons.

The report data appears below the graph. You can change the data column by which the report items are sorted by clicking the arrow to either side of a column name. (The up arrow sorts the report in ascending order according to the data in that column, and the down arrow sorts in descending order.)

Below the report data are five buttons that allow you to move from page to page in the report.

These buttons are, from left to right, First, Previous, Next, Last, and All. The All button shows you all the entries in the report, up to 100 entries per page.

The last part of the report is the page help, which provides a definition for each column in the report.

Options Tab

The contents of the rest of the tab change significantly depending on what is selected from the list.

Each options page has one Reset Options button for every group of options on the page. Clicking Reset Options returns all the options in that group to their last saved settings.
