Running Parallels RAS Reports
To view Parallels RAS reports, select the Reporting category in the RAS Console. The report information is displayed as follows:
The middle pane lists the available reports. See the Predefined reports subsection below for the complete list. The blue "folders" icon (at the top of the list) groups reports by type or displays all of them as a flat list. The "refresh" icon refreshes the report list by retrieving it from the database (this can be useful when you enable/disable the reporting functionality or when you add custom reports, which may not appear in the list automatically).
When you initially open the Reporting category, the right pane contains just the Information tab page, which informs you whether Parallels RAS Reporting is active. If it's not, you need to make sure that it is installed and enabled.
The blue "square" icon in front of the Tasks drop-down list (upper right-hand side of the RAS Console) expands the reporting interface into full screen. The Tasks drop-down list allows you to perform the following actions: Duplicate (duplicates a report tab page), Full screen (on/off), various Close Report options, Delegate Permissions (allows you to grant permissions to view reports to other RAS administrators, such as Power and Custom administrators who don't have these rights).
To run a report, double-click it in the middle pane. The report opens in a tab page in the right pane:
Most of the predefined reports include controls that you can interact with, such as From/To dates, Sort By, Sort Order, Chart Type, Server Name, and others depending on the report type. When you change a value in any of these controls, click the View Report button to apply the new values/options and re-run the report.
The main report area (lower portion where the data is represented as a graph, text, or numbers) includes a menu bar with icons that allow you to change the magnification, list through report pages (if more than one is included), search for text, save a report to a file, print a report, and export it to one of the available formats (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, or a data feed).
