Reports Tab

The Reports tab is displayed within the context of a given project and enables you to generate any standard and custom Code Insight reports currently available for the project. (The same reports are available to all projects.) You can generate a single report or multiple different reports simultaneously for the project. Once the generation of a report has completed, links are provided to view an HTML version of the report and to download the report in all its available formats.

For more information about the procedure used to generate a report and for a description of standard and custom reports, see Generating Reports for a Project.

The following table describes the components of the Reports tab.

Description

Report list

The list of reports on the Reports tab shows the following information for each available Code Insight report—standard or custom.

Name

The name of the report.

To generate a report, select its name and click Generate Selected Report.

View Report

The View link to open the last generated version of the report in HTML format. When you click the link, the report is displayed in your browser. Anytime that you regenerate the report, the link is updated to open the new report version.

No link is displayed until the report is generated for the first time.

Download Report

The Download link to download an archive containing all available formats of the last generated version of the report. When you click the link, the archive is downloaded to your system’s default download location, where you can then open (and save) the report in any of its formats. Anytime you regenerate the report, the link is updated to download the new report version.

No link is displayed until the report is generated for the first time.

Generated On

The date and time of the last successful generation of the report. No date and time is displayed until the report is generated for the first time.

Generate Selected Report

Click this button generate the currently selected report. The following happens:

•

A message prompt appears explaining that the report will be generated in the background, enabling you to continue to work in Code Insight as the report generates. Click OK to proceed with the report generation.

•

If the Include data from Second Project field is displayed, enter the name of the second project whose data will be included along with the data from the current project for comparison purposes. As you type a string, project names containing that string are listed in a dropdown list from which you can then select the desired project name. (This is a required field.)

•

If other fields are displayed, enter the requested values in those fields. Default values can be overwritten. Click the

icon next to a field for more information about its purpose and possible values. The Generate Report button on the pop-up remains disabled until all required fields are completed. (Required fields left blank are outlined in red.)

When these additional fields have been properly completed, click Generate Report on the pop-up window.

Note that the Generate Selected Report button is disabled for each report that is currently generating, but is enabled for any other report not being generated. While one report is generating, you can select and generate another report, enabling you to generate multiple different reports for the project simultaneously.

Once a report is successfully generated, the View and Download links and the date/time of the generation are provided for that report.

If a report generation fails, a message is displayed (in the area where the links ad day/time information for the report would have displayed), stating that the report has failed and to check the logs for further information. (A Code Insight System Administrator can review the contents of the core.log to determine the reason for the report failure and relay the information to the appropriate contacts to fix the issue.)
