The Generate As dialog box enables you to view and modify information on reports. The report information is available in a table of four columns for a specific folder configuration. The table displays the following columns:
Report Name – Specifies the name of a report. This value is read-only.
Default Name – Specifies the report configuration Alternate Name, if defined. This value is read-only.
If this value is not defined, the default name property contains the Alias for an MCP configuration or Model name for a Windows configuration.
Generate As – Specifies the generated name of a report.
You can edit this value and ensure that the value does not exceed 10 alphanumeric characters for MCP configurations.
Note: There is no such restriction for Windows configurations.
Status – Specifies the status of individual reports. This value is read-only. If a report does not exist directly under the folder, a status of Missing appears against the report; else, the status is blank. A status of Conflict appears against a report along with a conflict message in the lower pane when a conflict occurs. A conflict can occur when
The Generate As value is the same for two or more reports
The Generate As value of a report is blank and the default name of the report is the same as the Generate As value of another report.
In such situations, you must rename the Generate As value to resolve the conflicts.
Notes:
If the length of the generated name is less than 100, the Generate As Remaining Characters displays the number of characters in red.
If the Generate As value is not yet defined for a report, a value of Not Specified appears against those reports.
