Custom Reports

NOTE: Hereinafter, the term “custom reports” refers to report definition objects (report definitions). See Overview  for detailed information.

In addition to reports that are available to you out of the box, Action1 enables you to create custom reports (that is, custom report definitions) tailored to your infrastructure’s unique needs. These reports can complement Action1’s built-in reports and can be helpful for compliance and security audits.

  • Custom report definitions can be based on built-in or custom data sources.
  • They are shown under Real-Time Reports & Alerts | Custom Reports.
  • Unlike built-in reports, they have no categories.
  • Custom report definitions can be used by all Organizations in your Action1 Enterprise, since no special permissions are needed to browse them (see the table below). However, to populate them with data, an Action1 user will require a View Reports permission with the relevant scope (Report, Organization, or Enterprise). See Browsing and Generating Reports for detailed information.
