Starting in BES 6.0, you can create completely customized web reports. More information is available at:
http://support.bigfix.com/bes/misc/customreports.html
I recommend you look at the “Cool Facts” report as an example.

Ben,
when do you expect to have the documentation (or its beta) for WebReports 6.0 available?
Tks,
rad

Is it possible to have the export to csv option enabled for a custom web report?

Hey Dominic,
In the general case, no. The problem is that the custom web reports are unstructured format and don’t necessarily fit into csv format.
You have two options if you want csv:
Copy from an HTML table into Excel – fast and easy.
Build a form into your custom report that will convert it to CSV. See the attached example.

I tried that code but it seemed to export as a html page…

You guys should really work on more “cool” stuff from that first link. You are certainly headed in the right direction.

Hey CCupit,
You mentioned the “export to CSV” code I posted wasn’t working. I just tried it again and it appeared to work fine. Can you tell me what it is doing in your deployment?

Hi Ben,
I’m attaching a sample of the csv file that it generated for me.
It did render the table correctly on the web reports page though.
Brgds,
Dominic

I think I see the issue with the csvtest function… Looks like it isn’t going to work like we thought… Back to the drawing board… Sorry about that.
