Working with reports

From the first of the three drop-down menus at the top of the window, you can select the component you want to see the report for.

From the second one, you can specify how the report information should be organized. The data can be grouped by task, by application, by scan result (where available). Choose the Do not group menu item to leave the report structure as it is.

From the third menu, you can select the events category to be displayed, choosing between Critical events (like malware detection), Important events and All events.

If the logging of one or more event categories is disabled in the Reports settings panel, then the link Disabled will be displayed at the top of the window. Clicking on it will open the Reports settings panel.

The statistics for each component are displayed in the lower part of the window. By clicking on the histogram icon , you will switch between graphical view and text view. To hide/show the statistics, click on the window partition icon .

Click on the Save button in order to export the current report to a .txt or .csv file.

By clicking on the filter symbol in the column headers, you will access the drop-down filter menus. From there you can select the filters to apply to the report data.

For instance, if you select the Tuesday item for the Time column and the Detected item for the Result column, the resulting report will only show the objects detected on Tuesday. If no records match the filter criteria, then no entry will be displayed in the report.

Select the Custom menu item in the filter drop-down menus to access the Custom filter window and create complex filter criteria, combining filters with Boolean operators (AND, OR).

By right-clicking on the column headers, you will access a shortcut menu. From there you will be able to sort the report, perform a text search, apply grouping and filtering conditions, enable/disable the display of certain report columns.

Click on the + sign in the column headers of Application, Object and Result categories to expand the row and bring up more information.
