Sample report file formats
The following report file formats are available for emailing and viewing: “MS-DOS
Text”, “PDF”, “Rich Text Format”, “HTML”, “Comma-Delimited Text”, “Excel
(Chinese)”, “Excel (English)”.
NOTES
: M86 Security recommends using the PDF and HTML file formats over other file
format selections—in particular for detail reports—since these files display and print in a
format that is easiest to read. Lengthy text in PDF, HTML, and Rich Text Format files
wraps around within the column so all text is captured without displaying truncated.
Comma-Delimited Text and Excel report columns may display with truncated text, but an
entire column can be viewed by mani-pulating the column width in the generated report
file. These reports can then be printed at a smaller percentage than normal size in order to
accommodate all text.
For MS-DOS Text reports, text may display truncated—in parti-cular for lengthy user-
names and URLs in detail reports—but an entire column can be viewed by scrolling to the
right. Since there is no way to manipulate text in the generated report file, the printed report
may display with truncated text. However, the maximum amount of text can be captured by
printing the report in the landscape format.
This is a sample of the Category Groups report in the PDF format, saved with a
.pdf file extension:

Guide.
