Patching Reports

Patching Reports are available within the console to run immediately or to schedule on a frequency desired by the user.

Important Information

These reports are 'built-in' and cannot be deleted; however, you are able to mark your favorite reports as 'favorite', which will always appear at the top of your reports list.

When reports are scheduled, they can be emailed into several formats including:

  • Adobe PDF
  • Microsoft Excel File
  • Comma-Separated Values File
  • HTML5 File
  • JSON File

Hint

Some reports also offer the 'Custom Header' option, in case a custom statement is required at the top of the report. Report logos will show Absolute by default; however, this can be changed in Custom Settings.
