Using the people and devices target summary report

This topic describes how to run and view the target summary analysis on the People and devices screen which provides a simple method of generating and viewing the target summary data. It also describes how to download the HTML version of the report. If required, you can also create interactive Live target summary HTML reports which are sent to you by email, or are available to download as described in Viewing a Live target summary HTML report.

1. For the case you want to generate a target summary for, open the Manage case screen.

   On the main menu click View cases. The screen that opens depends on your setting of View cases. If it is set to:

     • If your case is listed on the Favorite & recent cases tab, click the case name to open the Manage case screen.
     • If it is not listed on the Favorite & recent cases tab, then click the Cases tab. Use the search filters to help locate your case. You can also click to open the FILTERS group which allows you to set your own default filter defining what is displayed on this tab, for example you may wish to set it to cases that you created which are currently open.

     For further information refer to Searching for a case.

     • If your case is listed under My recent cases click it to open the Manage case screen.
     • If it is not listed under My recent cases then select your case from the table, using the search filters to help locate it if required.

The report is run in the background and you can continue to use the case and the previous report until the new one is complete.
