Downloading, Viewing and Exporting Reports
Generating Reports
NOTE
Because source data appearing in each daily report is not collected by the
APS until the end of the day, you cannot generate a report for the current
day.
5
Do one of the following:
Click Get Report to start generating the report. RiverMaster
sends the report request to the APS which FTPs the file to the
RiverMaster computer. To vary the width of the report, select a
value in the percentage field. After the report appears, you can
double-click the magnifier icon on a users name to focus on user-
specific data.
Click Export Data if you want to simply export the data in flat
ASCII text without viewing the report. A Save As window
appears prompting you to select the directory to store this file.
NOTE
Depending upon the level of activity and interval queried, you may need
to wait a while for a report viewing window to appear as shown in
Figure 101. For example, an Accounting Report for 1000 sessions may
take 10 minutes or more to download. For reports which cover hundreds
of logins or many weeks of heavy activity, the report viewing window
appears blank and the hourglass which usually indicates activity also
disappears while data is being compiled.
CAUTION
If you run two sessions of RiverMaster, do not generate the same type of
report on both sessions at the same time. If you require the same report
from both RiverMasters, wait until one report is finished compiling
before starting the second report.

If you chose Export Data, you may keep the default file name or type
a new name, select the directory and click Save. Optionally, you can
select another file type by clicking the Save as type down arrow.
