Configuring default options

Introduction

The GFI LANguard N.S.S. ReportPack allows you to configure a default set of parameters which can be used when generating reports. These parameters are first set during installation. However, you can still reconfigure any of these parameters via the Options navigation button and the Tools menu provided in the GFI ReportCenter management console.

Through the Options navigation button you can configure the following parameter:

Database source: Use this node to specify the database backend from where the ReportPack will extract the required reporting data.

Through the Tools menu you can configure the following parameters:

Default scheduling settings: Use this menu option to configure the default export to file parameters and report emailing parameters of scheduled reports.

You can also backup your configuration settings for the ReportPack through the Import/Export Configuration node in the Options section. Exported configurations may be imported into a separate GFI ReportCenter instance, provided that the same ReportPacks are installed on both instances.
