(Optional) To further refine the period, select Custom in the Report Period list and enter On or After and Before dates and times.
(Optional) Select the View reports after running check box.
(Optional) Select the Export and save reports check box, and then do the following:
To export the reports as Crystal Report, Adobe Acrobat, or Microsoft Excel documents, select a Report Format.
Due to limitations with Crystal Reports, users may see issues when exporting to CSV such as formatting or incomplete data sets. Report templates have complex designs such as headers, grouping, and data formatting, which causes inconsistencies in data exported to CSV. It is recommended to use the Excel export functionality instead of CSV format or manually export logs from the grid in the Web Console.
Enter the Report Export Path and click Test Path.
To compress the files into a single file, select the Compress check box.
To specify the naming conventions, select the File/Folder Name.
Determine the Data Processor to query when preparing the reports.
To query all online Data Processors, select the Query all online-active Data Processors check box.
To query specific Data Processors, clear the Query all online-active Data Processors check box and enable the check boxes preceding the Data Processors you want.
Click Next.

Type a Package Name.
Type a Description.
Select the Report Package Permissions.
