  1. List of available Data Sources. Depending on your RG3 setup you may have one or more data sources connected to your RG3 interface. (for instance Webnative PROD and Webnative DEV)
  2. Clicking on Data Source name reveals the list of report types, available for it. The list depends on data, sent to RG3 by Report Generator 3 Client (RG3C). Currently 3 types are available by default “Fullpress Reports”, “Printer Reports”, “Webnative Reports”. Other custom types also may be available.
  3. List of available reports according to selected reports type. The list may contain default set of reports (always available), reports added by users with “Report Management” roles and custom reports, created by any user for personal needs.
  4. Some reports are placed in sub-menus, like “Grouped by Date”, “Grouped by File”, etc. Those are default preset reports that display aggregated data, based on “Fullpress Reports”, “Printer Reports” and “Webnative Reports”.
  5. This label show default time limit for reports data. Entries, created before that limit will not be outputted by default. This value can be overridden by filters
  6. Columns with linked labels. You can click on a column label to resort report data by that column values.
  7. Filters can be used to quickly find required information in report. Filters’ look and feel depends on report configuration. It may be, for instance, regular input field, date picker, dropdown with values, or no filter at all. If date filter is used, default time limit (5) is discarded

  8. “Create Custom Report” button allows you to quickly build your own report, based on currently selected one, by applying permanent filters to it. Custom reports are then displayed in “custom” sub menu:
