Report Inheritance

Hi All,
When we are visiting the repors, when we say a folder has it's own report settings, it gets exluced from the parent folder but I am positive it was not like this in earlier versions. The sub-folder could have it's own report and it was still included in parent folder report.

Why we need both ?

Because we want to make a special report for our client, but we still want to see a report page which included all clients folder in one page and that is for the administrator of network.

any suggestion ? Thanks,

Roozbeh

You can select "Folder and Sub folders" for the custom tests of the parent folder.

There are several options to get what you need:
- use global reports defined in the Options dialog (these reports always include all folders)
- use "generate reports" action with "Foder & all subfolders" option
- use undocumented option "AlwayswithSubfolders" (add "AlwayswithSubfolders=1" line into "[Reports]" section, hostmon.ini file; restart HostMonitor)
BTW we did not change this behavior for long time (probably for year)
