Configurable Reports

From Adtool

From the Application main window select a desired report from the tree. When the report is loaded click Print button.

From the Print Preview window, select Configurable report type.

In the Report Column Configuration window

Select desired number of columns, columns names, columns font, color, size, grow (the column field grows vertically so that all data it contains can be printed or previewed), columns header style (font, size, color, background color). Additionally you can group the report by any column. To do that select a column from Group By drop down and you report will grouped by the selected column. Click OK button and the report will be loaded into the Print Preview window.

If it is required, the report page orientation can be changed to Portrait or Landscape from the top toolbar of the Print Preview window.

If you want to continue changing your report, click the Configure button from the top tool bar of the Print Preview window and the Report Column Configuration window will appear again with your selected settings.

The only thing to remember, if you load the Users or Computer report, whatever columns you selected to display in a grid, those columns (LDAP attributes) will be loaded from Active Directory, and the Column Name drop downs in Report Column Configuration window will be populated with those selected columns. This is done to improve the performance of loading the Users and Computers reports. If you select only some columns to display (not all), the report will be loaded much faster than if you select all columns (LDAP Attributes). If you select Last Logon column to display, every Domain Controller in a domain will be scanned to provide accurate results and this could slow down the loading process as well.
