Not Seeing Import Report Link on Report List in Web Reports

[sysadmin]

Hi, I am logged into Web Reports as the default root user and I would like to import a custom report I found online. I’d expect to see an Import Report link on the Reports List page, but I do not.

Any advice?

Thanks!

Hi, look at the following:

@joseg

Hi, in new installs of 9.5, the ability to import custom reports is disabled by default. It can be re-enabled setting a value of 1 for the registry setting HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\BigFix\Enterprise Server\BESReports\AllowCustomReportCreation.

Here are more details: IBM Documentation

And in case it’s useful, there is a screenshot in a related discussion here: Bigfix 9.5 import Custom Webreports option not coming - #3 by TheTick

Hi @sysadmin

Just create a registry entry

HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\BigFix\Enterprise Server\BESReports\AllowCustomReportCreation

Value 1 for enable

[sysadmin]

Thanks, everyone! Appreciate the advice!
