Viewing a task’s report
When one expands the node representing a search task in the console tree, and selects a report under that node, the details pane displays report pages that are very similar to the search result pages of the
Search Page node. Another way to view a report is by using the
Open command on the shortcut menu or by double-clicking the report list item in the details pane. The shortcut menu on a report in the console tree provides the same commands as the report’s menu in the details pane (see
Managing a task and its reports).
Each report page includes a heading and a list of search results.
The report heading displays the report name and ID number along with the following information:
•Started - Date and time that the report creation started.
•Finished - Date and time that the report creation was completed.
•User - Identifies the account that started the search task.
•Computer - Identifies the computer from which the search task was started.
•Results found - Number of items found by the search.
•Results reported - Number of items included in the report.
Results reported may differ from Results found if the task is configured to limit the number of items in the report or the search found more than 100,000 items.
•Search Options - Click the Search Options button to view the settings of the search query performed by the task.
The Search Options area lists only the configured settings, with the same setting names as in the task creation wizard. The empty settings are not displayed to prevent them from cluttering up the report heading.
List of search results includes the same areas as the list on the search result pages of the Search Page node:
•Statistics bar - Shows the number of results displayed on the current report page.
•Search results - Displays a numbered list of items containing information that matched the search criteria. See
Search results for details on the list of search results.
•Results navigator - Shows how many report pages are returned and allows one to navigate from page to page.
Reports delivered via e-mail are the same as reports in the console with the only differences as follows: e-mailed reports are not divided into pages and they do not provide the ability to access shadow data from the list of search results.
The console redacts the Shadow Log related search results unless the console user is a DeviceLock Content Security Server administrator with the right to access shadow data. If the user does not have that right, the console replaces the shadow search results with asterisks. In e-mailed reports, the shadow search results are redacted if the user who initiates sending the report does not have the right to access shadow data. For an e-mailed report to disclose shadow search results, the following conditions are required:
•If the task e-mails the report, the user who runs that task by using the Run Task command in the console must have the right to access shadow data.
•The user who e-mails the report by using the Send via e-mail command in the console must have the right to access shadow data.
