Reporting tasks are where you generate customized queries about the entities, activities, and events in your Security Center system for investigation or maintenance purposes. Most investigation and maintenance tasks are reporting tasks.
This section takes you on a tour of the reporting task layout, and describes the common elements of most reporting tasks. The Area activities task was used as an example. You can open the Area activities task by typing its name in the Search box on the home page.
A | Number of results | Displays the number of returned results. A warning is issued when your query returns too many rows. If this happens, adjust your query filters to reduce the number of results. |
B | Query filters | Use the filters in the Filters tab to set up your query. Click on a filter heading to turn it on () or off. Invalid filters display as Warning or Error. Hover your mouse over the filter to view the reason it is invalid. |
