Accessing the Content Reporting portlet

This section provides steps on how to access the HCL Content Reporting portlet and details on how each report criterion is interpreted.

The HCL Content Reporting UI

The HCL Content Reporting UI has the following components:

  • Main header - This section contains the total number of results found, a link for viewing completed and pending update actions, the Update button to update the expiry date of the reported items, and the Export button to export the search results into a CSV file.
  • Search Criteria - This section displays a preview of all the criteria used to search for items to populate the report.
  • Report table - This table contains the reported items in table format. By default, the table is arranged by title in alphabetical order. You can also sort the items in the report by Name or by Last modified on. When you change your sorting preference, it is applied even when you search with other criteria, at least until the user reloads the page.

  • View Criteria - Click View Criteria to open the top drawer and display the criteria used for populating the report. You can set the criteria and generate a report in this drawer as well.

  • Criteria - There are six criteria that can be used in different combinations as the basis to generate a report. The dynamic fields of each criterion is displayed after selection. A report can be generated based on any or all of the following criteria:

    • Expiry date
    • Owner
    • Author
    • Item type
    • Phrase
    • Word

  • Add Criteria - This adds another criteria line by clicking + Add. Only one instance of each option can be added at a time.

  • Action buttons:

    • Click Search to proceed with the search.
    • Click Clear to clear the fields.
    • Click Cancel to close the search criteria drawer.
