Saved Reports

The Saved Reports page contains a list of all the reports that have been saved in USM Anywhere and USM Central. From this page you can edit, copy, delete, or run any of the reports you have saved. Reports created in USM Anywhere can be viewed in USM Central, but can only be edited in their native USM Anywhere environment. The reports listed on the page can be filtered by category or scheduled status. You can also click the icon next to any of the saved reports to view their export history or download a previously run report.

To edit a saved report created in USM Central

  1. Click the icon to edit the report.
  2. Click Edit Filters to add any additional filters you want to include in the report.
  3. Select the date range for the information included in the report.
    You can select a predefined range of Last Hour, Last 24 Hours, Last 7 Days, or Last 30 Days, or you can set your own date range by clicking the icon.

  5. Note: CSV reports based on filters that include timestamp columns include an additional column that displays the timestamp in a format that can be easily interpreted and sorted in a spreadsheet, labeled ISO 8601.

    For example, if you generate a CSV report that contains the timestamp column “Time Created” containing "Tue, Feb 15 2022, 02:48 PM", an additional column named “Time Created ISO 8601” will be included that converts the timestamp to the ISO 8601 format of "2022-02-15T14:48:43.596".

  6. Under Repeat, click the drop-down list to select how often you want the scheduled report to be generated.

    If you don't want the report to be recurring, leave the selection as Never.

    • Time: Select the UTC time you want the reports to run on the days they're generated.
  7. In the Email Addresses section, enter the email addresses of the people to whom you want the report to be sent when it is generated. Select Enable Link Expiration if you want the link to the report to expire after 14 days.

    This name displays in the Saved Reports page. You can also add a description that will be included in the generated emails.
