Creating Report Configurations

Before you can generate a report, you need to create a report configuration. The report configuration defines the parameters used in creating the reports from the set of available report logs. To make report logs available, either configure FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications to collect report logs from your license servers (see Managing (Rotating) Report Logs) or manually import them.

Report configurations are created using the Report Configurations page. You can edit an existing configuration or create a new one based on a predefined report type. In either case, FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications presents a series of screens that walk you through the report-configuration process. (See the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications Online Help Library for information on configuring a particular report.)

You can also copy an existing report configuration. This enables you to easily create a report that has the same report specifications with a few exceptions (for example, a different date range, vendor daemon, or host server).
