Creating Custom Reports
Get detailed reports from your profiles by creating custom reports using DSMETER and its Report Designer. You can filter profile data by editing rules for reports, such as showing only data for a specific time frame or specific user. You can specify to save report data as a CSV file to open in a spreadsheet program or a TXT file to open in a word processing application. The report can also be saved as an EXE file to run regular reports with scheduling software.
