In general, the default reports will provide the information that
you need. However, in special situations, you may want to create a new report.
To create a new report:
- Click . The
Performance Test Report dialog box opens.

- At Name, enter the name of the new report.
- The Report Tabs is empty because you are
creating a new report (rather than editing a report). Click Insert to
enter information about the tab. The Performance Test Report Tab
dialog box opens.

- At Title, enter the name of the new tab.
- Select a tab as a template, or select a custom tab:
- The Performance Tab, Summary Tab, Page
Throughput Tab, , Server Health tabs, and Response
vs. Time tabs all are included in the Performance report. Selecting
one of these tabs provides you with a similar report.
- The Page Element Throughput Tab and the Page
Element Summary Tab are included in the Page Element report. Selecting
one of these tabs provides you with a similar report.
- The Transaction Throughput Tab and the Transaction
Summary Tab are included in the Transaction report. Selecting
one of these tabs provides you with a similar report.
- The Verification Point Summary Tab is included
in the Verification Points report. Selecting this tab provides you with a
similar report.
- Custom Tab (n graphics) creates a new tab with n graphics.
Tables are considered graphics.
Click Next.
- The number of wizard pages that you see, and the information that
they contain, depend on the template you selected. You will see two wizard
pages for each graphic. You select the graphic type (bar chart, line chart,
or table) in the first dialog box. You select the counters in the second dialog
box.
- Enter the title of the tab.
- The graphic type selected depends on your template. For example,
if you chose Performance Tab, the title of the tab
is Performance and the graphic type is Bar
Chart, which is the type of chart that the performance tab displays.
If necessary, change the graphic type.

- Click Next. Although you
can click Add to filter the report now, it is best
to create the report first, and filter the data after you examine the report.
You can filter a report by count, by value, or by label.
- The data on this page depends on the graphic type that you selected.
For example, Performance tabs contain default performance counters, Summary
tabs contain the default summary counters, and so on.

- To add new counters, expand the Generic Counters field
to select the counters to include in the report. Typically, you
add generic counters to a report because the counters are updated each time
you regenerate the report. However, to create a baseline report with static
information—that is, the counters are taken from the same control test run
rather than updated with current results—click Show all test runs and
include a counter from a specific run.
- If there are multiple graphics, clicking Next displays
the title and graphic type for the next graphic.
- When you are finished selecting the graphics and counters, click Finish.
You can now manage and edit this report just as you do the default
reports. When you right-click on an item in the Performance Test Runs view,
and then click Manage Reports, the new report appears
with the system-provided reports.
