Setting general reporting preferences

Use the General tab of the Settings > General > Reporting page in the Data Security module of the Security Manager to define general settings for security incidents and reports:

Steps

  1. Under Attachments, select a Maximum number of attachments per message (1-40) to set the highest number of reports that can be appended to an email notification message (40, by default).
  2. Set the Maximum size of attachments (1-20 MB) included with an email notification message (5 MB, by default).
  3. Mark Zip incident and discovery reports to have reports compressed in a zip archive to reduce the size of the notification message.
  4. Under Printing and Exporting Incidents, set the maximum Number of incidents (50-500) to include when the Print Preview or Export to PDF option is selected (400, by default).

    If a list of Forcepoint DLP incidents or reports is very long, this allows it to be broken into manageable groups.

    • When the total number of items to export is larger than the number set here, administrators can select from a range of pages. For example, if the number of incidents to include is set to 200, and there are 700 incidents, administrators are asked whether to export 1-200, 201-400, 401-600, or 601-700 incidents.
    • To export all incidents, enter an email address to which to send a PDF file.
  5. Select one of the following options to determine whether a custom logo is displayed in reports:
    • Mark No custom logo to display only the Forcepoint DLP logo on the first page of the report.
    • To add a custom logo to the top of the first page in the report, mark Add the following logo, then browse to the image file containing the logo. The image must be smaller than 5 MB. Supported file types include .png, .gif, .bmp, and .jpg.

    As a best practice, upload an image that is 200x50 pixels. The system reduces larger images to this size, so the resolution may be affected.

    The custom logo appears on the top right of the report, while the Forcepoint DLP logo appears on the top left.

  6. Select one of the following options to determine whether to add a disclaimer to the bottom few the report:
    • Select No disclaimer (default) to show no disclaimer at the bottom of the report.
    • To include a disclaimer, select Add the following disclaimer, then enter the disclaimer text. The disclaimer can be 2 lines; each line can be 150 characters. Disclaimers appear on every page in the report.
  7. Under Forensics, select Secure forensics with plain text to have forensics data appear in the report in plain text, rather than potentially malicious HTML.
  8. Select Delete forensics for closed incidents to have forensics data deleted when an incident’s status is changed to “Closed.” This reduces the size of your forensics repository.

    Forensics data is not deleted for incidents closed before this option is selected.

  9. Click OK to save the changes.
