Report Configuration
Use this page to view a list of reports that have been configured and scheduled for generation. You can configure a new report by clicking Generate New Report or right-click an existing report to view, edit or delete it. The Software Vulnerability Manager reporting capabilities allow the user to schedule and fully customize the intended report.
