Working with the Reports Window

This window provides you access to all the reports created by the Automation Engine for any executable object, task, agent, client, etc. and contains multiple functions that help you manage this data.

In case of very long reports or of heavy traffic, loading the report can take some time; in this case, the Report dialog is displayed but the toolbar buttons are disabled. You can detach the dialog to be able to switch to another window and continue with your tasks while you wait for the report to be displayed.

Function	Description
Reports	Depending on the object or task you have selected, different types of reports are available. You can access all of them from this dropdown list.
Show latest output	Available for Report (REP) only. If you open the report of a job that is still running, pressing this buttons brings you automatically to the bottom of the report, that is, to the latest data that has been written so far. For details see Easy and Fast Access to the Most Recent Report Data.
Pagination	Use the backward/forward arrows to scroll through the report pages. You can also select the page from the dropdown list:
Refresh button	This is relevant for reports of tasks that are still running. Although an internal auto-refresh function is implemented that guarantees that data is up-to-date, you may want to refresh the report manually via this button:
Detaching the Reports window	When viewing the output of your reports, particularly in case of active tasks, you may want to react immediately and, therefore, you need to switch to a different window. However, the Reports is displayed on the foreground blocking all other views. You can detach it by clicking the button. This opens the report in a different browser window that you can move to another position on your screen. This allows you to keep it open and running while you can continue working with the system.
