Berichtsarchiv/en

All archived reports of the current management system can be found under "Administration → Report archive".

For reports to be listed here, they must have been created with the "Configure Storage in the report archive" option. This ensures that the report is archived and created with revision information (i.e. versioned and with individually configured cover sheet data). It can then be regenerated or displayed via the report archive. Even if the data status in HITGuard changes, the report will remain unchanged. The stored information can also be edited without having to regenerate the report straight away.

Overview report archive

To view a report, click the link in the column "Name" (only possible if the report has already been generated and the name is displayed as a blue link). So long as the report hasn't been overwritten in the meantime, it shows a snapshot of the data as they were at the time of creating the archive entry. To download the report in its currently stored version, click the "download" button next to the name.

The data behind the report (e.g. the protection needs analysis or the audit program) can be viewed via the link in the column "Linked content". This always takes you to the current data, which is not necessarily the same version of the data as was used for the creation of the archive entry.

If you generate an archived report again, the previous version is overwritten. If you want to inhibit the the editing, re-generating, or copying of an archive entry, you can do so by setting it to "locked".

To create an archive entry, select the option "configure storage in the report archive" when generating a supported report.

To edit an archive entry, you must double-click on the archive entry (but not the blue text). A modal will open, the individual steps of which are discussed below. Please note that not all of these steps have to be present for every report. Some steps, such as the e-mail configuration, are not displayed here if they were not selected on the first page of the modal.
