Other reports are based on the same data as COUNTER reports, but contain more information as well. Information is available on a much more detailed level, such as by user or by group, and information that is separated in COUNTER reports is available in a single report.

These reports are available for the last closed month, year to date or a specified date range of up to 12 months. If you specify a date range, you cannot schedule the report, but must run it immediately.
