Hello,how about creating reports to a nicely laid out web portal?
The portal could show a list of the latest reports for the user to select and view.

STM is able to publish a report to a local directory (default is the "publish" directory under the webapp ROOT directory, which is not obvious and not documented), or a CIFS share (NFS would also be good).
I currently present the publish directly via a locally installed instance of Apache web server. This is only a work around (and not formally supported, or even documented) and does not provide any layout or presentation.
It would be good if:
- The publish location is documented (it is the 'default' option when choosing where to publish a report.
- Publishing can use protocols in addition to CIFS (eg: NFS, S3, HTTP post, etc...).
- STM to provide a custom report portal via port 80 (either via tomcat or something like lighttp), linked from the STM menu, or within STM itself.
The KB article, Publishing Storage Manager Reports, describes how to specify a target directory for publishing scheduled reports in Storage Manager.
