The Reports tab presents critical statistical information from all File Collaboration, File Synchronization, and File Replication jobs in a single table. The Reports tab is visible when the Enable Advanced Reporting Tab option on the Collab, Sync, and Repl Summary page in Preferences is selected.
The Reports tab is especially useful to view the number of files that are in the queue waiting to be synchronized (shown in the File Sync Queue column). Scroll the view horizontally to see all of its columns
For performance reasons, this tab is not updated in real-time. However, it can be set to automatically update every few seconds. Select the Auto-Update checkbox to enable this functionality; set the refresh interval (in seconds) in the Refresh checkbox. Each refresh cycle will update the totals across all active jobs listed at the bottom of the view.
Items in the table can be filtered by a filter expression, job name, Participant, Session Status, or by tags. Select the desired filter or enter your own expression in the text field to the right of the Filter drop-down list. Check the Auto-Hide button to hide all jobs which have no pending activity.
