Reports

In Catchpoint, data from one or more tests can be combined in a scheduled report which is delivered to your chosen contacts via email. Reports are based on templates that define what data to include and how it is displayed. You can also specify the report's frequency and the recipients.

Reports can be accessed in Catchpoint via the Reports Module in the left navigation menu. Here you can view a list of reports, modify existing reports and set up new reports.

Report Properties

• Name - a unique name identifying the report
• Template - defines what data to include in a report and how to display it
• Include Errors - specifies whether to include test errors in the report. Options include none, include top 5 errors, and include top 10 errors.
• Status- active or inactive. Inactive reports will not be sent.
• Test - the test(s) whose data will be included in the report. The test types you can select may be limited by the chosen template (some templates only work for specific test types). You can choose a maximum of 200 tests per report.
