Report Generator

Report Generator (Commercial Edition Only)

The Report Generator feature in OpenEMPI allows users to generate reports on the operation and configuration of the OpenEMPI instance. The Report Generator consists of two views: The table on the top view lists all the known types of reports that the system can generate. The second table in the lower part of the screen lists all the reports that have been either been scheduled for generation or have already been generated. You use the view at the top to request a new report to be generated and the bottom view to view or print a report that has already been generated.

Note: If the view at the top doesn't list any reports, that means the reporting module has not been installed yet. You can follow the instructions at this page (Installation of Reporting Module) to install the reporting module.
