How to find your way?

Promodag Reports includes about 80 report templates that you can use to create your own custom reports.

Report templates

To open a template, you can either

  1. Use the Report Templates menu
  2. Use the Report Explorer.

For more information on the interface of Promodag Reports, see Main window.

Before you start using the product, we suggest you open our List of Reports .

Templates are grouped in categories, such as Storage, Mailbox Content or Billing for example. These categories appear as main nodes in the Report Explorer and they cannot be modified. The names of these categories are meant to help you find your way among templates. Each entry comes with a short description.

Graphical reports are distinguished from tabular reports in the Templates menu as well as in the Report Explorer by a specific icon.

You can rename these sample reports or delete them at will. You can also rearrange the existing tree or create your own hierarchy in the Favorites menu.
