The Report Designer lets you create custom reports by selecting from a list of available Analytics, Control, Console, and Wireless dashboards (system reports), and customizing the report component panels to meet your specific needs. The Report Designer can be accessed from the Reports tab. The Report Designer also lets you create a new report based on individually selected components. When a report is created, it is available from the report catalog in the Reports tab.
In order to use the Report Designer, you must be a member of an authorization group that is assigned the XIQ-SE OneView > Access OneView and XIQ-SE OneView > Access OneView Administration capabilities.
