Report Center
Available in HQ Enterprise
This screen allows users to generate all available reports in HQ. The report templates come predefined by HQ, and users simply select a template and provide any necessary input. (Read a description of the report templates.) Customers can develop their own report templates and make them available on this screen. All reports are generated in real time; there is no scheduling, no asynchronous generation of reports.
If you have any comments or suggestions for this help page, please submit them at the bottom of the page by clicking Add Comment.
Tasks Available on This Screen
On this screen, users can do one thing: generate a report.
To generate a report
- Click the name of a report template in Select a report.
- In "Report Options," provide any additional information necessary to generate the report.
HQ automatically displays in this section the parameters associated with the selected report.
- Select a format for the report in Export the report as.
- Click

HQ now generates and displays the report. If users want to store the report, they should save it to their own computer.
 | HTML Report Displayed in the Same Window
If the report format is HTML, the report will be displayed in the same window that HQ is running in. Therefore, when finished with viewing the report, go back; don't close the window. |
