Reporting

File Reporter provides an extensive set of reporting options for each of the supported repository types and targets.

Built-in Reports

File Reporter provides several Built-in Report templates for Windows file system targets. Each template includes customizable parameters specific to the report type and includes categories such as:

• File system metadata reporting

• Permissions reporting

• Historic comparison reporting for changes in permissions or metadata over time

• Volume free space trending

Custom Query Reports

For cases in which customized file system reporting is required, or for repository types without available Built-in Reports—such as Microsoft 365—Custom Query reporting provides an advanced interface for querying collected scan data and laying out report data results.

A Custom Query report may be configured as a simple SQL query with delimited text output. It may also include both the SQL query as well as a detailed report layout definition to assist with the presentation of charts, grouping, and custom layouts, and provide exports for various formats including PDF, HTML, and Excel spreadsheet exports.
