Field Default Description

Type Capacity Choose the type of report you wish to create in the Report Type drop-down menu.

Specify the groups and folders to be covered in the report by choosing All Groups (or All

Folders) or specifying Use selected groups (or Use selected folders) in the drop-down

menu.

If Use selected groups is chosen, a menu with checkboxes appears, allowing you to choose

the groups to include in the report.

Device

Filter

Blank

Add a specific alpha numeric string for finding devices that match that which you entered. Note

that once you enter a search string, new or deleted devices that match the search string will

automatically be included or excluded in all future reports generated until you delete or change

the search string.

associated with a specific user or device.

Filter by

device type

All Device

Types

Filter this report by device type. By selecting the second option - Use selected device types -

you can select the checkboxes next to the specific device types you want to filter on: Access

Points (such as campus APs remote APs, and different types of Mesh APs), Controllers (Master,

Local, Standby, and Virtual), Switches & Routers, and Universal & Custom Devices.

SSID All SSIDs

This field displays for most report types. When this field appears, and when you select Use

Selected IDs, a new list of SSIDs displays. Check (select) the specific SSIDs to be included in

the report.

Report

Start

Report End

Blank

These fields establish the time period to be covered by the report. These fields are supported

for most report types. When these fields do not appear, the report provides a snapshot of

current status rather than information covering a period of time

Times can be entered in relative or absolute form. A start date of 6 months 3 weeks 5 days 9

hours ago and an end time of 4 months 2 weeks 1 day ago is valid, as is a start date of 5/5/2008

13:00 and an end date of 6/6/2008 9:00. Absolute times must be entered in a 24-hour format. Other

reports, like the Inventory Report, give a snapshot picture of the AirWave at the present time.

Schedule No

When you select Yes, new fields display that allow you to define a specific time for report

creation. The report schedule setting is distinct from the Report Start and Report End fields, as

these define the period of time to be covered by the report.

These Schedule fields establish the time that a report runs, independent of report scope:

l Current Local Time—Displays for reference the time of the AirWave system.

l Desired Start Date/Time—Sets the time the report runs, which may often be separate from

the time period covered by the report. This allows you to run a report during less busy

hours.

l Occurs—Select whether the report is to be run one time, daily, weekly, monthly, or

annually. Depending on the recurrence pattern selected, you get an additional drop-down

menu. For example, if you select a recurrence of monthly, you get an additional drop-down

menu that allows you to pick which day of the month (day 1, day 2, and so forth) the report

should run.

Report

Visibility

By Role

This field allows you to display the report either by user role (with the report appearing in User

Role lists on the Reports > Generated page) or by Subject (displaying reports by Subject on the

Reports > Generated page).

l By Role: When you create a report definition, the reports are visible to everybody who has

the same role as you (ie AirWave Administrator), and to nobody else.

l By Subject: When the report is run, AirWave users have access to the report if they are
