How to generate a report from a view using an HMS script

Hello,
I added an entry to the HMS script:

SetCurrentFolder Hostmonitor\Servers\
(...)
SetCurrentFolder Views\7 - REPORT - SLA Month - Bad\
IncludeSubFolders yes
CreateReport "SLA month summary BAD" d:\HostMonitor\WebPages\Reports\Incydents\SLA-Monthly-BAD\% yyyy-mm% _SLA_bad_new.htm
Unfortunately, the report does not contain data from the view only from the "Hostmonitor\Servers \" directory

How can I generate data from a view using an HMS script?

No, you cannot use script for such task
It works with folders, not Views

OK
Thank you for your help.
It would be nice if such a possibility appeared in the next version

May I ask why do you need script?
Generate reports action may create reports set for specific View. Also reports can be generated by scheduler..

Hello,

Generating reports with the script makes managing reports much easier.
I could group all reports in one script and group them into e.g. daily, weekly, monthly etc.
