Web Reports XML

A custom report is made of HTML, Relevance, and JavaScript, embedded in an XML file.

In the Data tag specify the full report request using the character data (CDATA) block. The XML parser does interpret the CDATA block as markup, so you do not have to escape your included HTML or JavaScript. You can also include an optional parameter tag such as URLParameters tag for extra information to use.

For more information about the specific set of parameters available, see the BigFix support site.

The following is an example of custom web report:

<BESWebReport>
  <Name>Example Custom Report</Name>
  <Type>CustomReport</Type>
  <URLParameters>computerID=computerRecord</URLParameters>
  <Data>
   <![CDATA[
    <div>Computer Names</div>
    <?Relevance names of bes computers?>
   ]]>
  </Data>
  <SourcePage>ExploreComputers</SourcePage>
 </BESWebReport>

This report lists the names of your IBM BigFix computers.
