Cisco Cisco Firepower Management Center 4000

For some search fields, the drop-down menu may contain user-defined managed objects instead of, or 
with, input parameters. Managed objects, which have distinctive icons depending on their type, are 
system configuration variables you can use as values in constraining searches. However, they do not 
produce the generation-time query for user input that occurs with input parameters. For information on 
managed objects, see 

.

When you edit the constraints of a reporting search, the system saves your edited search under 
the following name: 

section custom search

, where 

is the name in the section title bar 

followed by the string 

custom search

. To have meaningful names for your saved custom 

searches, be sure you change the section name before you save the edited search. You cannot 
rename a saved reporting search.

When finished modifying the fields in the search editor, click 

The Report Sections page reappears and a new predefined search appears in the section’s 

 

drop-down menu.

You can use input parameters in a report template that the report can dynamically update at generation 
time. The input parameter icon (

) indicates the fields that can process them. There are two kinds of 

input parameters:

Predefined — see the 

 table

User-defined — see 

 table

Any

Predefined input parameters are resolved by internal system functions or configuration information. For 
example, at report generation time, the system replaces the 

$<Time>

 parameter with the current date and 

time. The following table defines the parameters available for use. You might, for example, include 

$<Month>

 in the title of a monthly summary report that generates automatically under scheduler control. 

Your report title then automatically updates with the correct month.
