Using GTA Reporting Suite

The GTA Reporting Suite main window will display four main dropdown menusńFile, Reports, Window and Help.

GTA Reporting Suite is consistent with a standard Windows interface, providing column sorting, column sizing and right-click menus. The main menu contains general options available throughout the application. Select options are also available using dropdown menus (at the top of each window) and right-click menus. Each report or chart creates a new window, up to nine concurrent windows. The window in focus is indicated by a colored title bar and a check mark next to the item in the menu.

The File menu contains the functions Select Firewall Routers; Export; Print...; and Exit. The Exit command closes the application.

The type and content of reports and charts is selected using the items under the Reports menu. Each report or chart run creates a new window, up to nine concurrent windows. The window in focus is indicated by a colored title bar and a check mark next to the item in the menu.

The Window Menu on the main menubar allows the administrator to arrange the current display windows in Vertical, Horizontal, Tile or Cascade format. Use Refresh to renew the contents of the current windows.

Find the version number and date of last build in the Help/About dialog. For GTA Reporting Suite documentation in online help, see the Help/Using GTA Reporting Suite item.
