HDS periodically publishes new or updated report templates and makes them automatically available within Hitachi Storage Viewer. There are two types of report templates, system and user. System report templates refer to general product related report templates. User report templates refer to reports that users have either created using the Dynamic Templates Designer, the SQL Templates Designer or saved from system templates. You can quickly identify system versus user folders by color. User folders are blue. System folders are yellow.

The Home section and its folders may be badged with NEW icons to indicate that new or updated report templates are available. Badges on user report folders and templates are visible to every user. Badges on system folders and report templates are only displayed to Super Users.

The Cloud section and its folders may be badged with a NEW icon to indicate that new user report templates are available. This badging is visible to every user with Cloud privileges. The badge is dismissed when a copy is made or saved as a user report template.

In the Home section, badges are displayed on product folders indicating when a template change has been introduced. Badges on user folders are shown only for Cloud templates, that is, those linked to templates in the cloud by users. Badges serve as a visual alert that new or updated report templates are available. For new system templates, the Super User must then enable new reports in the privileges for individuals or user groups. See Enabling New Product Report Templates.

User report templates copied from the Cloud section into the Home section (My Reports), will also display UPDATED badges if revised versions of a user report template are available from the Cloud.

UPDATED badges are dismissed when you choose to update. NEW badges automatically expire in 14 days. You can customize the display duration for the NEW badge in the portal.properties file.

The Cloud section in the Reports tab will display a NEW badge to any user with Cloud privileges if a new user report template is available. The badge is dismissed when you copy the report template into your blue user folders or it is saved as a user report template.
