DeviceLock Reports : Report Creation Tasks
  
Report Creation Tasks
Reports are created by tasks that can be run by hand as well as on a scheduled basis. Every run of a task creates a new report in accordance with the task settings. In the case of a scheduled run, the server creates new reports automatically as defined by the task’s schedule settings.
In the DeviceLock Management Console, tasks are grouped by category and type of reports:
•Relations Chart creation tasks are listed in the DeviceLock Enterprise Server > Reports > Relations Chart node. To begin, select the Create Task command on the shortcut menu of the Relations Chart node. For details on this category of reports, see Relations Charts.
•Report creation tasks for a particular report type of the Audit Log category are listed in the node representing that report type under DeviceLock Enterprise Server > Reports > Audit Log in the console tree. To begin, select the Create Task command on the shortcut menu of the report type. For details on report types in this category, see Audit Log Reports.
•Report creation tasks for a particular report type of the Shadow Log category are listed in the node representing that report type under DeviceLock Enterprise Server > Reports > Shadow Log in the console tree. To begin, select the Create Task command on the shortcut menu of the report type. For details on report types in this category, see Shadow Log Reports.
To update the information in the task list based on the latest changes, use the Refresh command from the shortcut menu of the appropriate task node in the console tree or from the shortcut menu of a task in the details pane.
When you select a report creation task in the console tree, the details pane lists the task’s reports. For details on the list of reports, see Viewing Reports Created by a Task.
Task management involves the following activities:
• Creating Tasks
• Managing Existing Tasks
• Viewing Reports Created by a Task
 
Note: When multiple instances of DeviceLock Enterprise Server use the same database, the tasks and reports created on one of them can be viewed and administered on any one of those server instances. The task is executed by the server where it was created or changed the last time.
