Generating deployment reports

Deployment reports include the following types:

• User history — Provides information about a particular user account, including user preferences, and the audit logs from each of the user's sessions, generated as a printable report on a new page
• Deployed files — Provides information about deployed files, including package instances, environments, duration, and status
• Environment history — Provides information about all deployments performed to a particular environment. The report is divided into information about the package instance deployed and the channels affected by the deployment. This report is generated as a printable report on a new page.
• Instance history — Provides information about a particular instance, its creation date, properties and content, and a complete breakdown of each of its deployments. Each deployment includes the environment details, signoff information, and information about how the content was deployed to each of the environment channels.
• Content history — Identifies the deployments for specific pieces of content
• Aggregate — Provides a high-level summary of user activity and deployments based on environment, instances, groups, and content
