Reports provide access to MOVEit Transfer performance and status data. A report is a set of instructions for executing a data query, formatting the results, and saving the resulting report to a specific location. Reports can be created either with one of the built-in categories and types, or the Custom category, which allows administrators to enter their own query parameters or import specialized reports. For more information about defining Custom reports, see the Custom Reports page.

Tip: MOVEit Transfer Report provides an easy and flexible (customizable) feature set for reviewing, documenting, and periodically monitoring user and system activity. Data Security Standards such as HIPAA require procedures for reviewing and documenting system activity.
