Things to consider when configuring filtering for FocalScope reports

Tutorial

Creating and configuring a report for a new report

To use the 'emails per domain' template, it needs to be associated with the correct parent report. Create the parent report as follows:

  1. Navigate to the [Shared Reports] folder
  2. Click the [Reports] tab (highlighted in red)
  3. In the right-hand pane, right-click and select [Add]

In the [Report form] window, configure the report as follows:

  1. Under the [General report information] section:
    1. Name - give the report a suitable, easily-identifiable name
    2. Template - select the [Compatible - detailed email list]
    3. Cache expires - set the age (in hours or minutes) at which the report cache will expire and be wiped from the FocalScope server
    4. Excel template - leave this at the default setting until the 'emails per domain' template is uploaded to the report
  2. Under the [Report parameters] section:
    1. Please note, it is recommended that you enable the filters highlighted in Figure 2 when using the 'emails per domain' template
    2. Configure the rest of the parameters as per your requirements (breakdown of report parameters and filters)
  3. [Optional] You can schedule the report for automatic dispatch to users in FocalScope
  4. Continued in next section...

  2. Click the [Browse] button (highlighted in red) and select the 'emails per domain' template
  3. Wait for the yellow upload confirmation bar to appear
  4. Click the [Save] button (highlighted in blue) to associate the custom template with the report
  5. Ensure that [Emails per domain] is selected in the [Pick a template from repository] list and click [Download report] to download the final report
  6. You can now set this template as the default for the report as per point 1.4 under the 'Creating and configuring a report' section at the start of this article

Please note, if you intend to create custom templates based on the 'emails per domain' one, download the attached Stub.zip file and use the Stub.html file contained in it to wipe the data from the custom template. This method will retain all filters set for pivot tables / charts in your custom template.
