Introduction

The purpose of the "Users use License" report template is to allow the administrator to create reports that breaks down how the current user licenses are being consumed.

The report can be found by navigating to "Administration | Reports", then scrolling down to the report "Users use License";

Creating a report using the "Users use License" template

To create a report to identify how the user licenses are being consumed you will need to use the context menu option "Create" for the report template "Users use License" (highlighted template above).

Using the "Condition Builder" tool to filter reported records

If no conditions are specified, then the report will list details user details, but additional conditions can be added that filter which records are included in the report.

Condition filters are added using the "Condition Builder" tool that is used to construct the Query Statement and is employed using the icon.

Filters may be applied based on any of the following fields;

Report Scheduling

Whilst the report can be run manually from the management console, it is possible you might want to schedule the report to run a specific times automatically.

This can be achieved by use the report scheduling option;

Configuring Report Output 

The default layout and contents of the report can be customised using the  button.

The purpose of the configuration feature is to specify which of the available field are to be listed in the report columns.

Running and Exporting the Report

The newly created report will now be listed in the "Reports" tab (listed under the name that you gave your report, and should be at the end of the list).

Example Report

In the following example report we will create a report that will search the user details for the user "TestUser".




We start by naming our report and providing a suitable description, then we click on the icon in order to build our query statement;.

A new window now opens titled "Condition Builder";

For this report we will restrict the search for license consumption to licenses of the license type "Authentication License";

We don't need any additional conditions so we click to build the condition, and the Query Statement parameter is updated;










After the report has been saved and run, we will find that the exported report shows how licenses are currently being consumed;

As can be seen from this report the user is still consuming a license and it is the purpose of this task to free the license up.

Now we run the task Clear deleted LDAP users then rerun this report we will discover that the entry with blank details is no longer present (and the associated license is no longer consumed);
