NEW IN 5.0.04 Adobe Flash dependency is now removed from the reports. For customers who want to continue to use the Flash-based BMC products, see Impact of Adobe Flash Player end of life for more information.

Volume Report displays a horizontal, stacked bar chart that represents the total number of requests in the completed, problem, hold, and canceled states for each application for a specified period. When you select any filter, the report is generated automatically for all the applications that you are managing and all the requests created for those applications.

Each bar in the chart represents all the requests in a particular application, and each colored section of a bar represents the requests in a particular state: completed, problem, hold, or canceled. You can click a particular color (state) on the bar to display a table of all the requests in that particular state at the bottom of the chart. This table provides request details, such as the application that it serves, the environment that it uses, the associated steps, the user who created the request, the release details, and so on. You can click a row of this table to display the Requests tab, from which you can export the displayed details from the table to a .csv file and save it (click the Export to csv link at the top of the table).

5.0.03.005 AND EARLIER You can also save the chart in various formats, such as .png.jpg, and .pdf.

You can also set filters to view the information for various environments and processes.

The following figure shows a sample Volume report with the details table and the save options:
