Some wizard or canned reports do not provide the ability to sort or group nodes. Nor do they provide options to filter based on specific criteria that the wizard is validating against.
2 Examples:
Config Change Report
This valuable tool provides no option to sort the output on the node name or node grouping. Or if the report is portrait or landscape.
Nor does the report provide the option to only output those node that have been validated as to having a change made. If not that maybe list those first. So every day I pull a very long paper report to see if some change has occured on our devices. I need to do this as a QA and sadly as a regulatory requirement.
-------------------------------------
Purge Configs
Example output
0 Configs were deleted on XXXXX_30
0 Configs were deleted on XXXXX1
0 Configs were deleted on XXXXX_240
0 Configs were deleted on XXXXXXX-2_103
0 Configs were deleted on XXXXXXXX_31
Where the XXXXX are facility_building_floor identifieers.
The listing does not allow any sorting by node name or node group, nor does it allow changing the default output which IMHO should be Node Name and X Config deleted.
Also consistancy in report format would be nice. Some reports contain a formatted header and footer with date, time, and page number. Some have no formatting at all. It would be nice to have control of those settings.
