Running a report

Applies To: Forefront Identity Manager

When using the BHOLD Reporting module of the Microsoft® BHOLD Suite Service Pack 1 (SP1), you run a report to extract information from your BHOLD role model according to the criteria specified in the report. For example, the built-in Active Accounts report queries information from active user accounts (account name, application, default account name, department, parent department, and user name), sorts the results by application and account name, and then groups the results by application.

When you run a report, you can choose to view the results in your web browser, or you can save the results to a Microsoft Excel file.

To run a report

1. In the BHOLD Reporting portal, click Show Reports.

2. Expand the category of the report that you want to run.

3. Next to the report that you want to run, do one of the following:

   • To view the report results in your web browser, click Run.

   • To save the report results in an Excel file, click XLS. When the File Download dialog box appears, click Save, and then, in the Save As dialog box, browse to the folder where you want to save file, in File name, type the file name, and then click Save.

     Important

     Before you can view the contents of the Excel file, you must first install Microsoft Excel on the computer running BHOLD Reporting.
