4.6 Exporting Reports

Once Secure Configuration Manager completes a security check or policy template run, you can export the completed report to a variety of file formats. For policy template reports, you can specify whether the full report lists security checks according to their order in the template or alphabetically by their names or specified aliases. The check sort order applies to reports exported in .pdf, .rtf, .tsv, .xml, .xls, and .xlsx formats.

To export report data:

  1. View the complete report. For more information about viewing reports, see Section 4.5, Viewing Report Results.

  2. Click Full Report.

  3. (Optional) To change the sort order of the checks in the policy template, click Full Report Options, and then select the appropriate option from the Check Sort Order menu.

  4. On the Actions menu, click Export Report.

  5. Type the file name, and then select one of the following file formats:

    • .pdf

    • .tsv

    • .rtf

    • .xml (XML or XCCDF)

    • .xls or .xlsx (depending on the Excel version that you use)

      NOTE:To export a report in Excel format from the Report Viewer, Microsoft Excel must be installed on the Secure Configuration Manager console computer from which you are exporting the report and installed on the Core Services computer. For more information, see the NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager Installation Guide.
