Searching for Templates, Reports, and Dashboards
The APTARE StorageConsole platform includes more than 200 standard report templates, periodic releases of cloud reports, along with the ability to build custom reports. You can tailor, save and share these reports for easy access whenever you require them. Using search is the most efficient way to navigate through the reports. If you know the name of a report, a template or dashboard use Quick search to find it. If you can’t remember a report name, you can click the Recent section in the navigation panel. This displays a list of the 20 most recently run, scheduled in a background run, or modified reports within the last 30 days as limited by your login.
The Search Results page displays your APTARE StorageConsole inventory sorted by categories. If you’d rather just browse through all the reports, templates and dashboards that you have access to, use the Explorer.
The Search Results page allows you to:
• Filter results from a search
• Run a report
• Go to a location to manage the report, template, or dashboard
• View long descriptions for certain reports. (This feature is only available for Capacity Manager and Backup Manager).
