Viewing Notification Server Report Results

You can display the report results using the following views, if they have been configured for the report:
Grid view
Grid views are tables, with each result item displayed on a separate row. The available columns are defined in the report. You can change the column order and group the results according to the values in a particular column. For example, you may want to group a list of computers by operating system type or subnet.
Chart view
Chart views are graphical formats such as bar charts, line charts, pie charts, and area charts. Multiple chart views may be defined in the report, but you can view only one at a time.
Each chart or grid is a particular view into the report results, so a view may contain a subset of the results. A report may have multiple views that are available to customize the output for different users instead of different reports being created for each user. For example, a report that lists managed computers may include properties of each computer, such as operating system, processor type, and disk size. The report may have a number of different views, with each view containing a subset of the available properties for each computer. When you look at the report, you can choose the view that contains the properties that interest you.
When you save a report, you save all of the results that are in your scope. You are not restricted to the data that is displayed in the current view. When you print a report, you print the current view.
This task is a step in the process for viewing and managing resource data with Notification Server reports.
