Sourcing a report pack with jobs
When you choose a job for a report pack you are actually determining what data is gathered by the job.
Before you begin
Learn more about report packs:
- The report pack must be rerun after you apply a filter for it to take affect. Choose the Automatically run report pack option if the report pack is sourced by a single job. Otherwise, a report pack sourced by multiple jobs should be updated on a schedule so that trend data is more consistent.
- The time it takes to generate a report pack increases when you apply a source job to it; however, by focusing the report pack on a specific job, as opposed to all jobs, the number of issues you need to review at a given time is likely reduced.
- If you add a job to a folder that contributes data to the report pack, the job must be run before the report pack is run, or the report pack data will not be current.
About this task
Before the job begins to scan its Starting URLs and additional domains, it looks to see what report packs it contributes to. Based on the reports in the report pack, the job determines what data it needs to gather while it is scanning a website or testing its applications. When you select all jobs in your installation, all of their data and every domain, is included in the report pack.
