Reports Setup

Go to PC > Reports > Setup to see global setup options related to reporting.

Some options may not be available, depending on your service level and subscription settings.

Report Storage & PDF Security

When Report Storage & PDF Security is enabled, managers can check the maximum report size assigned to each user, as well as the statistics on the current size of reports and the free space available for the subscription. The Report Storage & PDF Security also provides the ability to clear the report cache of the used reports when there is an issue with the report share disk storage. Used reports are reports that are created or deleted by the users in your subscription but have not yet expired. The report cache can be cleared by using the Clear Report Cache button. Managers can also enable secure PDF distribution of reports.

Notes:

-To use this feature, the Report Storage & PDF Security feature must be enabled for your subscription.

-The Qualys system already has an automated program that executes every 24 hours to clear the report cache of expired reports.

-The used report size displayed on the Report Storage & PDF Security comprises only the report share size for your subscription and reports deleted by the users in your subscription. It does not include expired reports.

OS CPE

Enable the OS CPE feature for the subscription to display operating system CPE names in your reports.

Policy Report HTML

In Qualys 8.15, we improved Policy Reports (in HTML format) for better usability and organization of your compliance posture data. With these improvements the report may take longer to generate.

A Manager user can select the option "Use the old policy report" to revert back to the old format at any time. This affects policy report generation for all users.

Scheduled Reports

Determine if scheduled reports will be distributed with report notifications, and whether they will be sent as attachments or report links.
