Report Type

Once the system has been running for a while, you can generate reports to better understand and improve your organization’s printing resources.

There are several types of reports that can be generated.  Each report can be filtered according to dates, job status, and additional data fields such as printer, user, bill code, and group.

After selecting the report type and the filters, click Execute to generate and view the selected report. (Execute is only possible once you have selected a report type.)

The report filters are described below.

 

Parameter

Explanation

Report Type

The type of report to produce. (Once you have selected one of the options, the Execute button becomes visible.)

Filter Date

The range of dates for the report:

  • All –  All information from the database with no date limitations.

  • Last – Data from the last day, week, month, or year.

  • From / To – A date range for the data (either from a starting point or to an ending point). Click the calendar icons to select dates.

Filter Results By

Filter the desired report only to a specific parameter (or a combination of parameters).  The parameters include:

  • Printer – Generates data only for a specific printer.  To specify more than one printer, use a semicolon (;) between printer names, without any spaces before or after.

  • User – Generates data only for a specific user. To specify more than one user, use a semicolon (;) between user names, without any spaces before or after.

  • Bill code – Generates data only for a specific bill code. To specify more than one bill code, use a semicolon (;) between billing codes, without any spaces before or after.

  • Group – Generates data for a specific user group. To specify more than one group, use a semicolon (;) between group names, with no spaces before or after.

Filter Status

Generates data only for specific statuses. See History for an explanation of all statuses. 

For example, a very useful report is one showing only Deleted and Cleared jobs. This allows you to see how many pages are sent to the printer but not picked up or deleted before they are released.

You can select more than one filter status.
