Importing and Exporting Custom Reports

You can export and import custom reports as XML files to facilitate report distribution and sharing. Appropriate permissions are required:

  • To export custom reports, administrative permissions to run reports are required.
  • To import custom reports, administrative permissions to create, edit and delete custom reports are required.

Note

During a NetMRI upgrade, if a standard report has the same name as an existing custom report, the custom report is renamed using the pattern "<report_name - N", where N is a random number. Currently scheduled versions of the report are also renamed.

Note

Chassis Inventory reports are limited to 2000 items.

To export a custom report, do the following:

  1. In the Reports > Report Gallery tab, hover over the custom report, then click the Export link.
  2. Open or save the custom report file.

To import a custom report, do the following:

  2. Click Browse to select the custom report file.

  4. Click Import.
  5. If the custom report has the same name as an existing custom report, you are prompted to rename the incoming report or overwrite the existing report.
  6. If the custom report has the same name as an existing report, you are prompted to rename the new report.
