Enhanced Reporting - User Interface
Overview
Arctera Surveillance introduces UI-based Enhanced Reporting for creating, running, scheduling, and managing reports. In addition to the existing reporting APIs, this feature now allows users to generate and manage reports directly from the application without manually invoking APIs.
To access Enhanced Reporting - User Interface, click Enhanced Reporting option in the left navigation panel. The Enhanced Reporting interface opens in a new tab and displays a list of existing reports.
Currently, Arctera Surveillance supports report generation through the Enhanced Reporting user interface for the following report types:
-
Item Details
-
Item Metrics
-
Evidence of Review
-
Item Hotword Metrics
-
User Roles
-
Reviewer Assessment Activity Date
Note: For more information about all supported report types and their access methods, see Access Methods in About Arctera Surveillance reports.
Access and Permissions
Access to Enhanced Reporting user interface requires the Manage Enhanced Reports permission. It can be accessed through Application tab > Roles. The users with this permission can:
-
Access the Enhanced Reporting UI
-
View all departments available for reporting
-
Create and manage reports across departmentsNote: By default, this permission is enabled for certain predefined application roles (such as System Admin and App User Admin). For custom roles, administrators must enable it explicitly.
Report List View
The report list displays all reports created through:
-
User Interface (labeled using username), and
-
Reporting APIs (labeled as API)
Note that for legacy reports created through user interface in earlier releases, the label displays 'User' instead of the actual username. This distinction helps users identify how a report was created, especially when reports are consumed by external tools such as Power BI or Tableau.
Each report entry includes details such as:
-
Status
-
Report name
-
Report ID (can be copied for sharing)
-
Created by (User or API)
-
Report type
-
Run type (Immediate or Schedule)
-
Run date
-
Expiry date
-
Enabled
Action buttons (Requeue, Edit, View Runs, and Download) appear on hover only for reports created through the user interface. No action buttons are displayed for API-generated reports.
Note: Once a report has expired (after its expiry date), the Download button is no longer available.
A Refresh option allows users to reload the report list to view the latest status updates.
