The report appears on your screen. If the report is too wide for your
screen, Amanda eliminates the columns that do not fit. These columns
are in the report but not on the screen.

tional rows of the report.

definition as a template, press Esc.
To change the width of a column:
• As you type a number in the field to create a report, type a colon and
then the new width of the column.
For example, 2:50 makes the second column 50 characters wide.
To save the report definition as a template:
1. From the Reports screen, press Alt+S.
The Save As dialog box appears.
2. Type the name for the report template (for example, USERINFO) then
press Enter.
Creating Reports from Templates
You can create a report from an existing template. First you load the
template then generate the report. You specify what mailboxes to use for the
report and whether statistical fields should be reset to zero. For example, if
you reset these fields, Amanda starts counting messages from zero instead of
the current message total.
To create a report from an existing template:
1. Access the Reports screen. (From the Main screen, press Alt+R and
enter the password.)
2. Press Alt+L to load a report.
The Load Which Report dialog box appears.
