Generate multi-level reports

Flex reports allow you to easily generate a multi-level report, without the need to build separate reports and combine them.

For example, you can build a flex report that lists:

1. all the devices in a View,
2. all the modules in each device,
3. all the ports in each module.

It is possible to do this in Report Builder via Composite Reports, but it is more straightforward to design multi-level reports in flex reports - there is no need to build multiple reports and combine them.

Flexible data formatting and display

Flex reports offer a high degree of flexibility in how data is formatted and presented:

• Multiple export formats: e.g. CSV, PDF, XML, HTML.
• Interactivity options: e.g. page forward/back, drill up/down (to uncover details that might otherwise go unnoticed), export, print.
• Hyperlinks: use hyperlinks to turn reports into interactive web documents to connect to related information, including websites and other reports.

You can run flex reports on demand or schedule them.

3 types of flex report

There are 3 types of flex report:

• inventory flex report, which is tabular.
• topN flex report, which is tabular.

You can also include graphical charts to the inventory flex report and topN flex report.
