Report Manager 

Overview 

Pearl Echo contains an enterprise class reporting module.  You can use the 

Pearl Echo Report Manager to query up to date Activity Log files, directories 

of archived data, log files residing on a Microsoft SQL Server, as well as files 

that you have filtered and saved in Pearl Echo's native file format.   

The Pearl Echo Report Manager consists of over seventy five standard reports 

that can be customized and saved for future use.  The Pearl Echo Report 

Manager allows you to run reports interactively or to schedule reports to be 

automatically generated and distributed.  The Pearl Echo Report Manager 

allows you to save reports in a wide variety of file formats including Crystal 

Reports format for interactive reporting and drill down.  You can even 

customize reports with your corporate logo. 

Reports can be scheduled to be published to any accessible directory including 

your organization's intranet so users can easily access reports through their 

web browser.  In addition, the Pearl Echo Report Manager can automatically 

distribute reports via e mail using Pearl Echo's built in SMTP emailer.  You can 

even customize the report email with your own email disclaimer. 

The Pearl Echo Report Manager consists of a single management console to 

handle all reporting activities.  The Pearl Echo Report Manager is organized by 

Reports, Groups and Schedules.
