Standard Reports Custom Reports NOTE: Reports generated for a long time period or for a large group ofprinters with high granularity may require a significant amount of time to generate. For example, generating a Standard Report (with the standard report polling interval set to every hour) for an entire year on one or more printers is time consuming. The resulting report contains an entry for every hour of every day for an entire year. PrinterMap retains reporting information for the present year and the past year on a rolling two year basis. The reference point for this data preserving method is January 1st not PrinterMap's installation date. Refer to "Reporting Data Custodial Procedures" in Chapter 5 for more details. The four PrinterMap user-generated report types are described in detail in the following sections: • Standard Single Printer Report • Standard Group Printer Report Standard Reports are reports that use Standard Report Polling Interval configuration values entered by the user in the Reporting Configuration window. Standard reports only contain printer data entries for data collected on the currently configured standard polling interval. If standard report polling is configured to poll hourly then a standard report contains an entry for every hour within the report generation time parameters defined by the user (provided the reporting data printer file has data stored for each hour). If standard report polling is configured to poll monthly, a standard report contains a single entry for each month within the report generation time parameters defined by the user. •Custom Single Printer Report •Custom Group Printer Report Custom Reports are reports that use the Custom Report Polling Interval configuration values entered by the user in the Reporting Configuration window. They allow entry of special values and parameters for one particular report or reports period outside the standard report cycle. It is important to note that Custom reports contain printer data entries for every hour available in the printer's reporting data file. If the custom report polling interval is configured to poll every six hours but the standard report polling interval is configured to poll hourly, then a custom report contains hourly data entries not data entries for every sixth hour. When selecting Standard or Custom reports, specify reporting parameters on a window similar to the one shown. Select a printer or group for generating a report and the type of generated report. Respond to prompting by specifying the From and To time period for the generated report. PrinterMap User Guide 64
