About the Report Creator

NetDoc reporting capability.

How to Run a Report

To generate a report from the Report Creator:

1. Click the Report Creator link on the Main Page. The NetDoc Report Creator window
appears, listing available reports.
2. Click on the link or name of the report you wish to run. A window specific to the selected
report appears — e.g., the Asset Report window.
There are four sections in the report window. These allow you to customize the
information that appears in your report, and how it is displayed. The four sections are:
Selection Criteria
Group by/Sorting
Report Detail
Header Color
(See details of each section in Sorting, Filtering, and Grouping Reports.)
3. To generate a report from the report window, select Generate Report.
4. The report will open in HTML format in your default web browser. From this window,
you can print the report or save it as an HTML file.

Selecting Data for a Report

Each report has selection criteria specific to that report. These criteria filter the report.
For example:
1. The Horizontal Link Cable Report window contains radio buttons to select All Criteria,
By Date Tested, By HL Type, and By Location.
2. Selecting All means that all Horizontal Links stored in NetDoc are included in the report.
