- Errors when attempting to save the generated report to a specific location on disk, for example, out of disk space.

The activity monitor records and displays the following information:
- Date: The date and time when the scheduled report was executed.
- Product name: The name of the GFI product ReportPack to which the report belongs.
- Type: The event classification - error, information, or warning.
- Description: Information related to the state of a scheduled report that has been executed. The format and contents of the activity description vary, depending on the event type.
