Defining the report filter

Report filters let you control what information is included in a report. For example, you might choose to limit a report to selected email senders, email recipients, or message analysis results (for example, clean, virus, spam, commercial bulk, or data loss prevention). You can also give a new name and description for the entry in the Report Catalog, change the report title, specify a custom logo to appear, and designate the new report as a Favorite.

Note: Using a custom logo requires some preparation before you define the report filter. You must create the desired graphic in a supported graphic format and place the file in the appropriate location. See Customizing the report logo.

The filter for predefined report templates cannot be changed. You can edit the filter for a custom report when you create it by choosing Save and Edit on the Save As New Report page, or select the report in the Report Catalog at any time and click Edit.

On the Save tab, choose whether to run or schedule the report, and save the report filter. See Saving the report filter definition.

The Edit Report Filter page has separate tabs for managing different elements of the report. Select the items you want on each tab, then click Next to move to the next tab. For detailed instructions on completing each tab, see:
