Saving Reports

Click on the Save link in the upper-left side of the screen to save the current report, with its settings and filters. This saves the settings and rules for the report, not what you see on the screen today. If you want to save the report as it is run (what you see on the screen) print it to a PDF file and save that file to your computer.

(optional) Your own comments about the report, including possibly why you'd use it and when or the rationale behind its creation and setting. VSys itself doesn't use the value here.
