Exporting and emailing reports

You can export and email reports in the following formats:

• HTML
• PDF
• CSV (for certain table- and list-based reports)
• RTF

To export a report

1. Within the report, click Export.

2. Select the export file format (HTML, PDF, CSV, or RTF).
   
   

   Warning

   Note

   The time it takes to export or email a report depends on the size and the format of the report being generated. PDF reports are generated much slower compared to the other formats.

3. To hide sensitive data (for example, passwords) in a report that includes configuration data, select Hide Sensitive Data.
    BMC Network Automation automatically enforces hiding sensitive data when reports are exported or emailed when the user's role has the Access Sensitive Data right denied (for more information, see Adding-or-editing-a-role). That is, the option to hide sensitive data appears only when you have the Access Sensitive Data right; otherwise, sensitive data is automatically hidden.

4. Choose whether to include all details. When exporting a summary type report, you can choose to include individual (usually per-device) details reports along with the overall summary report. Because the number of details could be very large, it is limited by the Maximum Number of Details in Exported Reports system parameter.

   Warning

   Note

   The Include All Details option is not available for the CSV export format.

   
   

5. Choose whether to open or save the exported data file to a specified location.

   By default, the email will be sent to you.

3. (Optional) In the Email dialog box, edit the default subject line.
4. Select a format for the email (HTML, PDF, CSV, or RTF).
