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.

Accessing the Reports Window

You can access the reports as follows:

Right-clicking an object in the Process Assembly perspective and selecting Monitoring > Last Report from the context menu
Right-clicking a task in the Process Monitoring perspective and selecting Open Report
After executing a job (JOBS) a success message is displayed at the top of the screen that also provides a link to the report

Working with the Window

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.

Reports

Depending on the object or task you have selected, different types of reports are available. You access all of them from the dropdown list at the top of the window.
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 Page 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 using the Refresh 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.
