Overview of Tech Tool Store's Reporting feature

New PC detected  Send by email  Send to FTP server  Send to repairshopr

Tech Tool Store provides a professional reporting feature that allows you to keep tracking of the computers you work on, as well as the customer names and all the repair tools executed in each machine.

Reports can be accessed and configured in Settings, Reports tab, as shown in the screenshot below.

Reports tab

This tab allows you to set up the way Tech Tool Store creates HTML reports of your repairs, and also manage the reports already created. All reporting related features require activation.

Computer reports contain the actions you perform with the tools: Update, Run and Uninstall, the time they were executed and the result of the operation. Reports are created on a daily basis for each PC.

If you want to permanently disable the creation of HTML reports, uncheck Enable the creatio of HTML reports.

If you don't want to create reports in the current PC, check Do not create HTML reports in this PC.

Both options above will only take effect after you close all the running instances of Tech Tool Store.

The Report Explorer allows you to easily manage the existing reports. Reports are displayed in a tree view control. The root branch shows the Client names, each client branch contains the associated computers, identified by their hardware fingerprint, which, in their turn contain the associated reports. By selecting a item, the corresponding information is displayed in the right pane.

To quickly find a client, PC or report, use the built-in search feature.

The "three bar" (menu) button, as well as the right-click (context) menu contain five options:

Check  Open selected: Open the selected item in the tree. If the item is a client or PC, the corresponding folder will be opened using the Windows Shell. If the item is a report, it will be opened with the default browser. Double-clicking an item has the same effect.

Check  Delete selected: Delete the selected item in the tree. If the item is a client or PC, the corresponding folder will be deleted, removing all child items. 

Check  Send by email: This option allows you to send the selected report to the email address you indicate.

Check  Send to FTP server: This option allows you to send the selected report to an FTP server.

Check  Send to Repairshopr: This option allows you to send the selected report to Repairshopr and associate it with a ticket.

New pc detected

Each time you run TTS on a new computer, the application will generate a unique hardware fingerprint for that PC. If that fingerprint is not present in the reporting database yet, Tech Tool store will ask you to enter the client name to associate with the current PC. The dialog box is similar to the picture below.

Reporting - PC detected

Enter the client name you want to associate the current PC with. Alternately you can click the small down arrow to the right of the combo box to drop down the list of actual clients (if any), and select a client from the list.

If you don't want to create repors in the curent PC, check Never warn me about this PC again.

If you want to permanently disable the creation of HTML reports, check Disable the creation of HTML reports.

Press Apply to save changes, or Cancel to discard any changes.
