Overview
Reporting Apps give users the ability to run analytics on their IT environment. Users can see a breakdown of their IT assets by resource type and a server distribution based on utilization. Reports from Reporting Apps are now available in PDF and XLSX formats.
There is role-based access control (RBAC) on Reporting Apps views, ensuring that users can only access Reporting Apps that align with their permissions.
Below are the key features of Reporting Apps:
- See analytics in a browser: The user is able to see the analytics report in a browser.
- Download analytics: Users can export analytics reports in PDF or XLSX format and view them offline.
- Re-run analysis: The user’s environment changes on a daily basis. As a result, environmental analysis varies on a daily basis, and whenever users want to get the most recent data they can re-run the same analysis.
- Run analysis on a schedule: For the user’s large environment, users can schedule to run analysis as needed and see the reports every day after logging in to the system; there is no need to wait for more time to run analysis and download the report.
- Send analysis on a schedule: Send analysis to the tenant’s own users.
Note
- Since the run is private to a particular user, only the individual who initiated it can view the run from the list. Users are unable to view any other users runs.
- Only the top 10 individual runs and analysis user runs will be shown on the API/UI page list.
- If a report contains a large amount of data, it will take some time for the tabular data to appear in the UI page.

App Level Permissions
The visibility of Reporting Apps and the actions you perform depend entirely on your RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) permissions. Each app has its own specific permission set.
To access the Reporting App feature in the OpsRamp portal, you must have either View or Manage permissions. Once the Reporting App is enabled, the list of available reporting apps will be displayed based on your assigned permissions for each app.
