Aggregating all the information, you have a comparative view of the workstation workloads. You can select the report format. If you select HTML format, you can also limit the size of the report. You can also select the granularity with which to extract the data (by day or hour) and to order the report. After you make your selection, click Next to proceed or Finish to complete the task creation using all the default values.

- Select Run this Task Now and click Finish if you want to run the report task. If you have not yet specified an engine connection, you are prompted to do so now.
- Click Cancel to exit without saving your changes.
- Click Finish to save the task, without starting it immediately.
