Examples of Dynamic Templates Containing Functions

The best way to learn how to define functions in a report template is to learn by example.

The following list includes a sampling of the out-of-the-box reports that are shipped with the product, along with a few examples of the relevant information to help you isolate an example of the functionality that you are trying to implement.

To help you identify a field in the template that contains this functionality, the following convention is used in the list of report templates.

  • Product:Alias combines the values listed in the template. In the following example, the selected Product is All, while the selected Alias is F.

  • Some templates are vendor product-specific, in which case you may have a Product:Alias such as EMC Avamar:A
