Creating a new report definition by copying
an existing definition
The simplest way to create a new report definition is by copying an existing definition.
To create a new report definition is by copying an existing definition, complete the following steps.
1. Select the definition you want to copy from the Report Definitions tab of the Event Custom
Reports dialog box.
2. Click Duplicate.
The name of the definition is the name of the selected definition with the word “copy”
appended. For example, “SelectedPortName” becomes “SelectedPortName copy”.
3. Click the Identification tab to enter a new name and description for the new definition.
4. Make changes to the report as required.
5. Perform one of the following tasks when you are finished modifying the definition:
• Click OK to save the report.
• Click Cancel to discard your changes and exit from the Report Definitions tab of the Event
Custom Reports dialog box.
• Click Reset to discard your changes without exiting from the Report Definitions tab of the
Event Custom Reports dialog box.
• Click Run to launch the report.
The new definition is added to the Report Definitions tab of the Event Custom Reports dialog box.
Editing a report definition
For your definitions, you can modify a definition and save the changes you have made. For a shared
definition from another user, you can modify the definition, then run that definition to obtain the
desired report; however, you will not be able to save your changes.
To edit a report definition, complete the following steps.
1. Click the Report Definitions tab of the Event Custom Reports dialog box and select the
definition you want to modify.
2. Click Edit.
3. When the Add/Edit Report Definition dialog box displays, modify the definition. (Refer to
“Filtering a report definition” on page 1197.)
4. When you have finished, perform one of the following tasks:
• If you own this definition, the OK button is available. Click OK to save your changes.
• Click Run to generate the report.
• Click Cancel to discard your changes and exit the Report Definitions tab of the Event
Custom Reports dialog box.
