The reports view lists all the reports available in the system that are associated to the current product view. DPOD provides some reports out of the box, but you or your administrator may create additional reports to address specific needs.

Reports are generated as MS-Excel spreadsheets, and DPOD is able to email them, save them to the file system, or call a web service to handle the file.

The available reports are displayed in a table with each row describing a single report:

Executing a report

To execute a report, click on the Execute button next to its name. This will load the report in the Execute Report screen.

The Execute Report screen allows you to set report-recipients. You may set these by using the Recipients controls:

The upper box lets you enter an email address of a recipient. Click the

 icon to add this recipient to the list inside the lower box.
Click the

icon next to an email address in the lower box to remove them from the list of recipients. 

This screen also displays report filters. You may use the filters to control the data generated by the report. The filters available for each report are described in the report's section in this guide.

DPOD will schedule the report to run immediately. When the report is ready, the MS-Excel spreadsheet will be emailed to all the recipients you selected.
