SPP Updated Reporting

Currently the reporting in Spectrum Protect Plus needs a bit of work.
Couple of requests i would like to make.
1. The ability to have all sizes in the same format. IE everything in bytes, MB,GB,TB etc.
The reason for this is then the ability to sort and filter properly to find out sizes of VMs etc etc

2. Proper CSV formatting on excel reports.
Once again this is needed for proper reporting and filtering

3. ICOS Statistics. We would like proper ICOS Statistics to be able to be gathered from SPP. Including size of data in ICOS, compression ratios and dedup ratios.


4. In the VM Backup Utilization having the ability to run the report on each SLA POLICY or vSNAP would be very helpful and considering they are columns in that report having the ability to run this report only on that specific Policy or vSnap would be good. This would apply across all reports.

    Requests to add to the report's data of who performed the recovery.
    In large organizations with a number of entities that use the software.
    The app allows the use of RBAC and division of access between users without the ability to see who did what.

    This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.

    - all of my ISP users ask for costume report capability.
    - one report (now i n need to generate 5)with the "impotent" things: when did it start and when did it finish, for how long did it run, the amount of data we been backup, Success and failure.
    The problem is the large number of reports, some of which we will probably not reach.
