Presentation reports include a set of predefined charts and tabular report templates with which you can generate graphical reports of Email Security Gateway message traffic activities. You can run a report, customize a report template, or mark a frequently used report as a Favorite. You can run any presentation report immediately, or schedule it to run at a particular time or on a repeating cycle.

Not all report templates can be customized. Report templates that can be customized display a different icon from reports that cannot be customized. If the Save As button is enabled when you select a report name, then you can save and edit that report to suit your needs. The Save As button is not enabled if you select a report that cannot be customized.

Use the Main > Status > Presentation Reports page to generate charts and tabular reports based on templates in the Report Catalog.

The Report Catalog organizes a list of predefined report templates and custom reports into groups. Expand a group to see its corresponding templates and custom reports. Click on a template or report title to see a brief description of what it includes.

To run a presentation report, select the desired report template in the Report Catalog, click Run, and then follow the instructions given in Running a presentation report.

To use an existing report as a starting point for creating a report variation, select a custom report, and then click Save As, if this button is enabled. If the Save As button is not enabled when you select the report, you cannot edit the template. See Copying a custom presentation report for detailed instructions.

To make changes to the report filter applied to any custom report you have created, select the report title in the Report Catalog, and then click Edit. You cannot modify or delete predefined report templates.

Reports that are used frequently can be marked as Favorites to help you find them more quickly. Just click the report title in the Report Catalog, and then click Favorite (see Working with Favorites). Mark Show Only Favorites to display only templates that you have marked as Favorites in the Report Catalog.

To delete a custom report you have created, click Delete. If a deleted report appears in any scheduled jobs, it will continue to be generated with that job. See Viewing the scheduled jobs list for information on editing and deleting scheduled jobs.
