Defining Report Categories for a VSC Blueprint

For information about defining report categories, see the following topics:

• Managing Report Categories
• Adding Report Categories
• Deleting Report Categories

Managing Report Categories

The Report Categories window allows you to add and remove report categories.

You may find that grouping reports based on your own categories helps to organize your operations more closely than using the predefined categories. If this is the case, you may create and remove report categories as required.

Each report that is created must have a category defined. Any reports that are created without specifically selecting a Report Category will be categorized under (Uncategorized).

Adding Report Categories

1. In the Hosted Console website, click Configuration > VSC Blueprints.
2. In the Blueprints list, click the blueprint for which you want to add a report category.
3. Click the Report Categories tab.
4. Click Create Category.
5. Type a name for the Category in the Name box.
6. Type a description for the type of reports being categorized in the Description box, if desired.
7. Click Save.

Deleting Report Categories

1. In the Hosted Console website, click Configuration > VSC Blueprints.
2. In the Blueprints list, click the blueprint for which you want to remove a report category.
3. Click the Report Categories tab.
4. Click the Delete  icon that corresponds with the Category you want to delete.
5. Click OK.

To delete a report category without deleting the reports, edit the reports prior to deleting the report category, assigning them a new category, using (Uncategorized) if required.
