Each Job and Project title has a tooltip definition attached to it. It can be seen by hovering over each column header title.

Job Name (Optional) | Job ID

View Job Report - Generate a report for the job

Project Name (Optional) | Project ID

View Project Report - Generate a report for the job

The job report option is used to generate a report outlining the number of files and amount of data discovered for the selected job.

IMPORTANT: Discovery information is purged after 5 days - to retain the information it is recommended to download  reports prior to them being purged.

The reports may be downloaded in either a HTML or CSV format.  The process to save either format is the same.

Notes:

• To generate a job report identify the desired job report to be generated.
• In this example a job report for "Job ID 30" will be generated.

1. Click on the Purple Report icon to the left of "30".

This will open a separate browser tab to display the example "Job ID 30" report (outlined in blue).

Just below the Job report header information is a Summary bar containing the following Lifetime Summary information (outlined in purple):

• Lifetime Summary
• Elapsed Time Run
• Number of Runs
• Number of Files and Amount of Data Moved
• Amount of Work Done

Note: When the job completes the Amount of Work Done is displayed (outlined in green).

2. Click on the CSV icon.

This will open a local browser pop-up window.

Note:
The screenshot below is for illustrative purposes. The actual path provided is dependent on file location on the system in use.

This example shows the steps needed to save a Job Report:

Note:

• The actual steps are dependent on the actual file structure of the user's computer.
• In this example the Job report will be saved in the Discovery Jobs folder.

3. Navigate to the destination folder.
4. Click on the Discovery Reports folder.

This will open the Discovery Reports folder.
5. Click on the Save icon.

This will save the report to the designated location and this is reflected job report name in the pop-up window in the lower left corner.
This will enable the report to be viewed using a viewer program of choice.

1. To exit the reporting function click the X in the Job Report tab of the active browser window.

If the discovery process is not successful the Status field will post a FAILED status.  

The Progress field will post the reason for the failure.  In this example the failure message is "FAILED to mount source (not found (check path names / export configuration))".

This completes the overview of the "Discover Now" scan feature.  Discovery Jobs will be covered in a later article.
