Option

Description

Report Information

Enter information in the following fields:

  • Name - A logical name for the report.

  • Label - Add a label(s) to help you categorize and easily find the report from a long list of reports. For example, Finance or Media Files.

    See Organizing reports using labels.

  • Description -A short description of the data contained in the report.

  • Report type - The type of security report. This field is populated by default.

  • Output format - Select the format in which you want to generate the report. You can select one or all of the given output formats.

  • Maximum reports to preserve - Select the number of report outputs you want the system to preserve. The default value to preserve the report outputs is now unlimited.

    In case of scheduled reports, setting up value of this parameter to Unlimited may fill up disk space. Configure the value appropriately by taking disk space into consideration.

    Note:

    You can configure a global setting to purge report outputs when they exceed a certain number. However, the value configured in the Maximum reports to preserve field takes precedence over the global setting.

    For more information about Configuring data retention settings, refer to Information Governance Administrator's guide.

  • Share report with others - Select this check box if you want to share reports that you have created with other users in your organization. Note that the for shared reports, the users will only be able to view data pertaining to the data sources on which they have permissions. See About sharing reports. for more information.

  • Schedule - Select the schedule at which you want the report to run.

  • Copy output to - Enter a path to copy report output files. To successfully copy a report output to an external computer, you must ensure that the Secondary Logon windows service is running in the Management Server.

    Note:

    When you specify a path in this field, select a folder that already exists. Arctera does not create a new folder. Copying a report may fail if the folder is in use by any application, including Windows Explorer. To test a connection, check the number of connections allowed on the folder. If you have just created a folder and the folder is open in Windows explorer, the test connection will fail for default settings since the default number of connections allowed on a folder is one.

  • Select Credentials to access "Copy output to" path - Select a credential from the drop-down menu, so that Information Governance can direct the report output to the specified location. Additionally you can use the option for adding a new set of credentials if the required credentials are not already added. The credentials must have folder-level read, write, create, and delete permissions on the external computer where the report output is copied.

  • Overwrite option - Selecting this option overwrites the earlier report output files. If you clear this check box, Information Governance creates a new folder with a report run ID for every report run, and saves the report in the new folder.

Notification

Enter email addresses of users you want to send the report to.

If the size of the attachment is above the configured limit, an email is sent without the attachment. You can configure the size of the attachment under Settings > SMTP Settings.
