Creating and editing subscribable reports

In the default installation there are predefined reports available to which Web Portal users can subscribe. You can also create new reports or make copies of predefined reports to modify. All the reports available to Web Portal users for subscription are those you have set up in the Report Editor. You can set up several subscribable reports with different parameters for each report.

Basic data for subscribable reports

The following basic data is relevant to providing subscribable reports in One Identity Manager.

    Use configuration parameters to configure the behavior of the system's basic settings. One Identity Manager provides default settings for various configuration parameters. Check the configuration parameters and modify them as necessary to suit your requirements.

    Configuration parameters are defined in the One Identity Manager modules. Each One Identity Manager module can also install configuration parameters. In the Designer, you can find an overview of all configuration parameters in the Base data > General > Configuration parameters category.

    For more information, see Configuration parameters for subscribable reports.

  • Schedules

    Each user specifies their personalized schedule for sending subscribed reports in the Web Portal. One Identity Manager supplies some default schedules. For more information, see Report subscription schedules.
