To access the Entuity report builder

The types of custom report

The Entuity report builder enables you to define and create reports that can be run interactively or on a scheduled basis. Use the report builder to supplement Entuity's out of the box reports.

You can define and create reports if you belong to a user group with the appropriate report permission.

To access the Entuity report builder:

1. In the Main Menu, click Reports. This will open the Reports page.
2. Click Report Builder. This will open the Report Builder page.
3. Click on one of the five types of custom report that you can define and create.

The types of custom report:

• Time Series Chart report - allows attributes from different components to be presented in a single chart.
• Inventory Table report - presents a table with one column per attribute and one row per component. The attributes can be taken directly from a component, or computed by summarizing an attribute from time series data on that component.
• Time Series Table report - presents a table to display time series data for a single selected managed object or View. It allows multiple samples of time series attributes to be displayed alongside their timestamps.
• Multi Chart and Table report - presents attributes taken from a single component in a combination of charts and tabular formats. You can also aggregate attributes together, and display different periods of history together in the same chart.
• Composite report - a more sophisticated report that can be created by combining two or more of the above types of report.
