BlueFletch's Support Agent dashboards provide all users with useful and easily filterable data on a variety of device and organization business cases. The Reports page in the BlueFletch Portal is an interface for creating, managing, scheduling, and subscribing to automated email reports of the most recent data from dashboard cards. The report comes in the form of a CSV file of a card's data filtered by date range, and by site if desired.
To that supports access to the Reports page, the Support Report Manage or Support Report View is required. Support Report View (included in the User role) permits a user to only view and subscribe to active reports. Support Report Manage (included in the predefined Admin role) permits a user to view, subscribe to, create, and manage all of an organization's reports.
A view-only user will be able see all active (published) reports, search for reports by name, filter by report frequency, and select options for interacting with reports:
View Report to see the report's full details.
Subscribe to receive the report in his/her email inbox when the report is dispatched.
A managing user will see tabs for Active (published), Inactive (published but deactivated), and Draft (incomplete or unpublished) reports. A managing user will also be able to search for reports by name and filter by report frequency. In addition to View Report and Subscribe, a managing user will be able to select the options:
Activate for completed drafts and inactive reports to publish them and move them to the Active tab.
