2 After making your selections, click Generate Report as usual.
When the report window appears, you can rearrange the columns or sort by a different
column.
Exporting Report Information
You can export reports into a comma-delimited or tab-delimited text file. All the
columns of information in the report window are included, and the report rows are
exported in the order they’re sorted at the time of export.
Exported reports can be put into databases, spreadsheets, or word processors for
further analysis or organization, or to be sent to another administrator. You could even
use certain reports as input files for network scanners for Remote Desktop.
To export a report:
1 Generate any report, and bring the report window to the front.
2 If desired, sort the report rows by selecting a new column to sort by.
3 If you do not want to export the entire report, select the rows to be exported.
4 Choose File > Export Window.
5 Name the file, and choose a location to save to.
6 Select a Text Encoding.
• Western (Mac OS Roman): Best choice if the report information uses the Roman
alphabet, and the exported document will be opened in an application or on an
operating system that does not support Unicode text encoding, like some
installations of Mac OS 9.
• Unicode (UTF-8): Best choice if the exported file will be opened on Mac OS X and
contains no Asian text characters, like Chinese or Japanese.
• Unicode (UTF-16): Best choice if the report contains Asian language text characters.
7 Select a Field Separator.
• Tab: Inserts a Tab character between column values.
• Comma: Inserts a comma between column values.
8 If you have selected only some rows of the report, and want to export only the selected
rows, select Save Selection Only.
9 Click Save.
