How to Generate Reports
This section covers the following topics:
- Overview
- Generate Global Summary Report
- Generate Target Group Report
- Generate Target Report
- Generate Match Report
Overview
You can generate reports that provide a summary of scan results and the action taken to secure these match locations.
You can generate the following reports:
Report | Description |
---|---|
Global Summary Report | Summary of scan results for all Targets. |
Target Group Report | Summary of scan results for all Targets in a Target group. |
Target Report | A specific Target's scan results. |
Match Report | Match results and information for all or selected Targets generated from the Investigate page. |
Available Formats
The reports are available as the following file formats:
- PDF
- A4 size
- Letter size
PDF reports can have a maximum of 8000 pages. The PDF is truncated if the report exceeds 8000 pages.
To receive the full report, export to another file format instead. - HTML
- XML
- Plain text
- CSV
The "Scanned Bytes" value displayed in reports may not match the physical size of data scanned on the Target. Files and locations on the Target are processed to extract meaningful data. This data is then scanned for sensitive information. Since only extracted data is scanned, the amount of "Scanned Bytes" may be different from the physical size of files and locations on the Target.
- For compressed files (e.g. ZIP archives) or locations, the data is decompressed and extracted before it is scanned for sensitive data, resulting in a higher number of "Scanned Bytes" for the file.
- For XML files, XML tags are stripped from the file before the contents are scanned for sensitive data, resulting in a lower number of "Scanned Bytes" for the XML file.
- For image files, when the OCR feature is enabled, only relevant data is extracted from the file and scanned for sensitive data, resulting in a lower number of "Scanned Bytes" for the image file.
