Template definitions determine how query and trend data are displayed in a report. You can edit ArcSight-provided report templates or create your own templates using the Template Designer Wizard.
A template consists of report design elements, such as headers, footers, title bars, charts, and tables, arranged on a page according to a layout specification. Templates can accommodate input from multiple queries and show multiple visual elements, such as three charts and a table each pulling from a different data source, in a single report.
Use the designer wizard to create and adjust templates to specify which data is displayed, what visual elements are used (variations on tables, charts, graphs, and so on), the layout of those elements, the report output file format, and much more.
To navigate to the report templates:
In the Navigator panel, select Reports resource from the drop-down menu and click the Templates tab.
Report templates are a component of ArcSight Reporting resource tools.
