3.2 Planning a Report

Analysis Center 3.0 or later includes report templates that you can use as a base to create your own reports. These templates are available in the AppManager Templates folder located in the Navigation pane of Reporting Console.

  • Decide the purpose of the report. What information do you want to display in the report? Have you already run the AppManager Knowledge Scripts that produces the data you want to reveal in a report?

  • Review the AppManager Templates folder to determine which template best suits your report requirements. For more information about the report templates, see Understanding Report Templates in the NetIQ Analysis Center User Guide.

  • Select the desired template and click the Run Report option. The Base Report is displayed in the Results pane.

    If the generated report serves your requirement, save it with a new and content-specific name within an appropriate folder.

  • Deploy the report to SQL Reporting Services to let other users access it.
