Adding Asset Manager Reports

Asset Manager Asset Manager comes with more than 40 standard reports. However, there may be times when you want to organize data for a more specialized analysis. On those occasions, you can build your own.  This page describes how to create a customized report of your organization's network data.

When you create a customized report, the general process is to select a zone of interest, define the format in which you'd like the data to display, build a query that represents the data you want to report, then save the results as a report.

Because the process includes determining the format in which the final data set is to display, the item you are working on is initially called, more generally,  a "widget."  The procedure ahead describes the way to create a "widget" that can become either a dashboard element or a user-defined report. 

The reports you create in one zone are available for use in all other zones to which you have access (i.e., the reports are affiliated with user accounts). And as you may know, user-defined reports—like all reports—pertain to one zone and not multiple zones.

 Here is the procedure:

1. Browse to Reports > Browse Real-Time on the menu bar.
2. Select the name of the zone to which you would like to add a report you create.

3. Click the Plus icon to add a report.

4. Set properties for the report including specifying whether you would like to create a chart-style report, a table-style report, or a textual item. 

   1. Chart - Also called a visualization. Opt for a chart when your goal is to show the relationship between one element and one-or-more other elements.

   2. Table - Opt for a table when the value of each element is roughly equivalent; the focus is relatively balanced.

   3. Text - Select the Text option to add text to a dashboard or report.
