To generate a report in any reporting task, you must set the query filters and then run the query. After you generate a report, you can work with your results.

Procedure

1. Open a reporting task.
2. In the Filters tab, use the query filters to create a customized search.

   NOTE: Some of the filters have a Select all button. This button does not appear if there are more than 500 entities to select from. For example, if you have a list of 1500 cardholders. Queries with over 500 entities take longer to generate.

3. Set a date and time range for the report.
4. Click Generate report.If there are invalid filters, this button is unavailable.IMPORTANT: The Reason required dialog box is displayed when generating any report that contains ALPR data. The reason entered is logged and included in Activity trail (Report generated) audit logs to comply with State laws.

   

   The query results are displayed in the report pane.

   Tip: You can right-click a column heading to select which columns you want to show. It also allows you to configure a custom sort order for the results using multiple columns as the sorting criteria.

5. Analyze the query results.

   The query results depend on the type of reporting task. When video sequences or ALPR data are attached to the query results, you can view them in the canvas by dragging a report item to a tile.

6. Work with the query results.Depending on the items in the query results, you can perform the following actions:
   1. Print the report.
   2. Save the report as a PDF, Excel, or CSV document.
   3. Export the video sequences.
7. (Optional) Save the report as a task.

   If you save the report layout (query filters and report columns) as a public task, you can share it with other users or use it as a report template with the Email a report action.
