Report Manager displays generated reports in PDF format for pre-defined reports or in Microsoft Excel format for customized reports. You can view reports only in the Data view. The following procedure describes how to view reports that have already been generated at pre-scheduled times. See Creating customized reports on page 23 and Running a report on page 21.

To view a report

1. From the Tier Selection bar, select the Tier for which you want to view a report.
2. From the Report Set Selector, select the Report Set that contains the required report. The Reports Table displays the reports of the selected report set.
3. From the Reports Table, select the report you want to view and click View (or double-click the report). If the report is not yet generated or does not contain data (the Pages column indicates 0), Report Manager displays a message that allows you to rerun the report.

Report Manager generates a report according to the settings of its properties. You can rerun a selected report with different property settings for that particular run. For example, you can rerun the report to include only specific counters and a specific Time Frame. See Setting report properties on page 22 and Introducing Report Manager reports on page 29.

To run a report

1. From a report view, click Rerun. The Properties for This Run dialog box is displayed. This dialog box contains similar tabs to the tabs of the report Properties dialog box (Description, General, Time Frame, and Filters).
2. In the Properties for This Run dialog box, set the properties according to your preferences.
   These settings affect only the current run of the report and do not affect the default properties of the report.
3. Click OK. Report Manager generates the report and then displays it.

Each report is assigned with a set of properties and schedule. If you want to have more than one report of the same set (Profile, Exception, and so on) and the same entity, but with different properties and schedule, you can create a copy of the report, and then modify the properties and schedule of the report copy. See Setting report properties on page 23 and Setting the schedule of a report generation on page 23.
