Introduction

Use presentation reports to create bar charts, trend charts, or tabular reports showing Internet activity in HTML, PDF, or Microsoft Excel (XLS) format.

Presentation reports may be used:

• After drilling down into investigative reports data requiring additional analysis.

  A presentation report is often available that provides additional detailed information over a longer time period, across more users, including more categories, and so on.

• By those who prefer a report they can print over an online, drill down report.

  The available presentation report formats may be more readable or usable to some consumers than the available investigative reports formats.

Find presentation reports and templates on the Reporting > Presentation Reports page in the Web module of the Forcepoint Security Manager. When the page opens, the Report Catalog displays a list of report categories.

Expand a category to see the pre-defined and custom reports it contains.

Note that your subscription determines what appears in the catalog. For example, Real Time Security Threats require a Forcepoint Web Security subscription

From the initial Presentation Reports page you can:

• Select and run a presentation report.
• Create a custom version of an existing presentation report or Use templates to create a custom presentation report.

  To customize the new report, see:

  • Editing the presentation reports Clients filter
  • Editing the presentation reports Categories filter
  • Editing the presentation reports Protocols filter
  • Editing the presentation reports Actions filter
  • Editing the presentation reports Options filter
  • Confirming changes to a custom presentation report

  For some examples of what kinds of custom reports you might create, see:

  • Example 1: A custom report based on an existing report
  • Example 2: A custom report based on a template
• Create Favorite presentation reports to make it easy to find and schedule frequently-used reports.
• Schedule presentation reports to run and Track scheduled presentation reports in the Job Queue.
• Use Review Reports to view scheduled presentation reports. The page lists generated reports that have not yet been deleted.

You can also Configure email delivery for reports, Configure how long scheduled reports are stored, and Use custom logos in presentation reports.
