- Creating a ready-to-print file: To create a printable version of

The system asks you to specify a directory and filename for the file.

- Creating an archive file: To create an archived report file or
an archived log file, clickFile —>Archive.
The system asks you to click OK to confirm that you want to overwrite the previous archive file. Then it creates a file with the same report or log file name, with .arc appended to it.
Note: When you archive a report, the original report can still be viewed, printed, and even archived again because the statistics used to create it are not deleted from the database; however, when you archive a log file, the file is moved to the $ARC_DIR/oamlog/ directory, and no longer exists in the $CUR_DIR/oamlog/. - Exporting statistics data: To export a database table, click File —> Export, and the file format you want to export. For more information, see Exporting the data.
- Deleting statistics data: To delete a database table, click File
—> Delete.
The system removes the table entirely from the database; it is no longer available for viewing, printing, exporting, or archiving.
