The report is generated via the button "Create Report". For each new report a new tab is created. 

 

For some reports, there is the possibility to make filter settings and to restrict the data output.

Filter

There are four filter options:

Date from/to
Predefined date ranges
Top
Data filter

 

The two data filters cannot be used together. In case both are filled in, the filter from/to is used. 

 

The filter date from/to restricts all data with the specified dates, both fields have to be set. 

 

The filter predefined date ranges offers several options. It can be selected between current hour, day, week, month and year. 

 

The filter Top restricts the displayed data, the first 10, 50 or 100 data sets can be displayed or even all. 

 

The Data filter offers the option to have the data filtered by print server, folder or printer. If a report is selected to which none of these 3 types apply, the corresponding IP filters are used. 

 

Reports with IP filters that are used instead of print servers, folders or printers are: local printers, computers with Agents, local printers by user, computer with local printers, overview of printer types, overview of printer types with computer information.

 

If the data filter is open, the known tree is displayed. The respective object is selected by double-clicking. (See figure steadyPRINT Reporting - data filter)
