Viewing Reports Created by a Task
When a task is selected in the console tree, the details pane lists the reports created by that task, with the following information on each report:
•Name - By default, the name of the report is composed of the task name followed by the date and time the task was started.
•Type - Can be Scheduled or Manual, depending on whether the task was run by a schedule or by hand, respectively.
•Status - One of the following:
•Generating - Report creation is in progress.
•Ready - Report created successfully.
•Error - Report encountered an error. Click this status to view the error message. Use
Server Log Viewer to find more information about the error.
•E-mailed - Appears only for Audit Log reports and Shadow Log reports. Possible values:
•Yes - The report included in the e-mail delivery was successfully delivered to some or all of the intended recipients. Yes is displayed only after the sending process is complete.
•No - Indicates one of the following:
•The report is not included in the e-mail delivery.
- OR -
•The report included in the e-mail delivery did not reach all of the intended recipients.
If an error occurs during the e-mail delivery of a report, you can use
Server Log Viewer to determine the reason.
If your computer has anti-virus or anti-spam software installed and running and an error occurs during the e-mail delivery of a report, the error information may not be reported in the DeviceLock Enterprise Server log. This behavior occurs because anti-virus and anti-spam products, for example, Symantec Norton AntiVirus, can automatically intercept e-mail traffic.
For information about how your anti-virus or anti-spam program works, consult the manufacturer's documentation included with your program.
•Started - Date and time that the report creation started.
•Finished - Date and time that the report creation was completed.
•Scheduled by - Identifies the user account that started the task of creating this report.
•Scheduled from - Identifies the computer from which the report creation task was started.
