Report Data Management
Select a check box in this section if you expect to be adding statistics to reports after you run them. Otherwise, leave the check box deselected for faster reporting.
When these check boxes are not selected
When you run a report, NetProfiler collects just the data necessary to display the statistics specified in the template for the report. This includes the data for the statistics that are displayed and also any data needed to derive those statistics.
You can modify the report to include additional statistics, such as by using the Column Chooser tool to add a column to a table. If the statistic that you add is one of those that was already collected for use in deriving a statistic that is displayed, then it will be displayed immediately. If it is not, then you must refresh the report for NetProfiler to collect more data and display the new statistic.
When a check box is selected
When you run a report, NetProfiler collects data for every statistic that can be displayed on the report. This consumes more system resources and requires more time for the report display initially. But if you make modifications to the report, it enables you to see the results of your modifications more quickly.
Select the User-initiated reports check box to collect all the data when you click Run now on a report page.
Select the Scheduled/Run in background check box to collect all data for a report that you will save as a template or run in the background.
