Adding Report Components
After you have created a report, regardless of whether you started with a blank template or an existing
report, use the following guidelines for enhancing it:
Note
Right-click menus make it easy to work with report components. The Report Builder interface
displays the right-click options that are available for use, and grays out those that are not.
• To add sections - Right-click on the name of the report in the tree. Select Insert Simple
Components, and then select Section.
◦ Sections are simply containers for the columns in a report area. For example, if you want three
tables to appear side-by-side, you create a section, add three columns, then insert the tables as
described below.
◦ Use the up and down arrow buttons to move sections up and down in the tree to place them
where you want them.
◦ Use the word "Section" or the letter "S" in the section name to help you keep track of
components.
◦ You can add an empty buer section between sections.
◦ You must have at least one column per section.
• To add columns - Right-click on a section, select Insert Simple Components, and then select
Column.
◦ Columns cause items in your report to appear side-by-side.
◦ You can add one (minimum) or more columns to each section.
◦ You can add an empty buer column between columns.
◦ Use the word "Column" or the letter "C" in the section name to help you keep track of
components.
• To add simple components - Click Edit on the tool bar or right-click on the name of your report in
the tree. Select Insert Simple Components, and then select the item you want to add.
◦ In addition to sections and columns, simple components include page breaks, headers and
footers, and more.
• To add data fields, tables, charts, and floor plans - To add one of these report components to the
highest level in the tree, click the name of the report in the tree (the top-level node). To add a report
component to a section, click the column in that section that you want to add the component to.
Then either right-click or click Edit on the tool bar. Select the item you want to add.
Note
When building alarm tables with an ap_MAC column, the ap_MAC column will only show
data for alarms that were triggered by a wireless client (station) associated to an AP's BSS.
Other alarms will leave this field blank.
◦ Use the up and down arrows to move items within the tree.
