Reports
The reports view lists all the reports available in the system. 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:
Column Content | Description |
---|---|
Execute Button | Click to execute the report |
Name | The name of the report. Click on the name to display the report details and recent execution history |
Description | Text description of the report’s definition |
Schedule | Details of the auto-execution schedule if it exists, or N/A if it doesn’t |
Recipients | A list of email addresses the report will be emailed to. |
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.Â
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.
Single Report View
Clicking on a report name in the table displays the single-report view. This view comprises 2 widgets:
Report DetailsÂ

Recent Executions

Each row in the table provides details of a single report execution.
