Deleting Reports and Report Definitions

Deleting Report Definitions

You can delete either a set of report results or a report definition by using the button at the right side of the report definition. If a report definition is deleted, all associated report results are also deleted.

IMPORTANT:Only the users with Manage Reports permissions can delete the report definitions.

For more information on permissions, see Reporting in the Sentinel 6.1 Rapid Deployment Reference Guide.

Deleting Report Results

There are two ways to delete report results.

  • Delete a single report by using the button at the right side of the report result.

    IMPORTANT:Users with the Run/View Reports or Manage Reports permission can delete the report results. For more information on permissions, see Reporting in the Sentinel 6.1 Rapid Deployment Reference Guide.

  • Delete multiple report results by using the option at the bottom right side of the report results for each report definition.

    NOTE:If the number of report results you have created for a report definition is less than or equal to the default value, you need to use the button to delete each report result.

    However, you can change the default value by editing the following property of the JasperReportingComponent in the config/das_core.xml file:

    <property name="reporting.reportResultsDisplayed">10</property>
    

    After you modify this property value, restart the Sentinel services to apply the changes.

Using the Multi-delete Option

The option is displayed only if:

  • You have either Run/View Reports or Manage Reports permissions.

  • The number of report results created for a report definition is higher than the default value specified in the Jasper Reporting component.

  1. Click the Multi-delete option to:

    • Expand the Multi-delete panel to list Select all and delete reports options.

    • Display a check box next to each report result.

  2. Select the report results for deletion.

    You can also use the select all or unselect all options from the Multi-delete options panel.

  3. Click delete # reports to delete the selected report results, where # is the number of report result selected for deletion.

    For example, if you select 3 reports for deletion, a delete 3 reports option displays under Multi-delete panel. Click delete 3 reports to delete all the selected reports. Click Select all and select delete reports to remove all the reports for a selected report definition.

    Click cancel to remove the Multi-delete panel and the check boxes for all the report results.
