Importing and Exporting Custom Reports
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:
- In the Reports > Report Gallery tab, hover over the custom report, then click the Export link.
