  5. In the Report Content section, select one of the following template types:
    • Custom Templates: Select one or more custom report templates.
      Note
      Note
      Selecting multiple custom templates generates a single report that displays formatted data from all selected templates.
      For more information about creating custom report templates, see Adding or Editing Custom Templates.
    • Static Templates: Select one or more of the static templates provided by Trend Micro.
      1. Select a static template from the Report category drop-down.
      2. Select the data to display in the report and specify any corresponding parameters.
  6. Select the report generation format.

      • Adobe PDF format (*.pdf)
      • HTML format (*.html)
      • XML format (*.xml)
      • CSV format (*.csv)
    • Static template report formats:
      • Adobe PDF format (*.pdf)
      • Microsoft Word format (*.docx)
      • Microsoft Excel format (*.xlsx)
  7. Click Next.
    The Edit Scheduled Report > Step 2: Targets screen appears.
  8. Specify targets using one of the following views.
    • Product Directory: Select the managed products or folders containing the managed products that provide the report information.
    • Tags and filters: Select up to 10 custom tags, filters, or important labels containing the users or endpoints that provide the report information.
      Note
      Note
      • The Tags and filters view is only available for custom report templates.
      • Reports generated by a user account only include data from endpoints that the user account is authorized to view. If a user account selects a tag, filter, or importance label containing endpoints that the user account does not have permission to view, then the generated report excludes data from the unauthorized endpoints.
      • Editing a tag, filter, or importance label on the User/Endpoint Directory screen also modifies the corresponding tag, filter, or importance label used by log queries and reports. For example, if the an endpoint is removed from a custom filter on the User/Endpoint Directory screen, then log queries and generated reports that use the filter will exclude data from the removed endpoint.
  9. If the report contains data from a Network VirusWall Enforcer device, specify the clients from which the reports generate:
    • All clients: Generates reports from all Network VirusWall Enforcer devices
    • IP range: Generates reports from a specific IP address range
    • Segment: Generates reports from a specific network segment
  10. Click Next.

    • Monthly: Reports generate monthly on the first, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, or the last day of the month.
  12. Specify the data range:
    • Reports include data up to the Start the schedule time specified below: This means that a report could have up to 23 hours more data contained in the report. While this has a small affect on weekly or monthly reports, this can make a "daily" report with almost two days worth of data depending on the Start schedule time.
    • Reports include data up to 23:59:59 of the previous day: This means that data collection for the report stops just before midnight. Reports will be an exact time period (example: Daily reports will be 24 hours) but will not contain the absolute latest data.
  13. Specify when the report schedule starts:
    • Immediately: The report schedule starts immediately after enabling the report.
    • Start on: The report schedule starts on the date and time specified in the accompanying fields.
