NXPowerLite Server provides four distinct reporting tools to help you track processing progress, estimate potential storage savings, and review historical data. You can access these from the Reports menu in the application.
1. Activity Summary (New in v11)
What it is: A real-time snapshot of your current run's progress - accessed via the Reports > Activity Summary menu.
When to use it: Check this when you want to monitor the status of an ongoing job.
Key features:
Displays processing progress and storage reclaimed, broken down by top-level folder.
Files Processed: View exact counts of completed files versus total candidate files.
Percentage Complete: Monitor real-time completion percentages across individual root directories.
Space Reclaimed: See exact storage savings (in MB or GB) generated per top-level folder.
The data is populated from a snapshot of the database and is only reset when a completely new run is started.
Because it is a snapshot, it displays the exact date and time it was last updated at the bottom of the window.
The Activity Summary reads from a lightweight, dedicated database table designed to update continuously without impacting active scanning performance.
2. Evaluation Report
What it is: A report detailing potential savings, available only when the software is unregistered (Evaluation mode).
When to use it: Use this during your trial to accurately gauge the storage space you could reclaim on your server.
Key features:
Operates as a single batch run.
It compresses your files to temporary locations to calculate the exact savings, notes the compression, and then deletes the temporary files.
If an evaluation run is paused or aborted before it finishes, the report will provide an estimated total storage reclaim based on the files processed up to that point.
Once you register the software, you enter "Optimize" mode and can no longer generate Evaluation reports.
3. Single Pass Report
What it is: A detailed summary generated after completing a Single-pass run on live data.
When to use it: Review this report to see the exact storage reclaimed after running a targeted, single batch optimization on your folders.
Key features:
Reflects actual, permanent storage savings on your live files.
Provides a clear visual breakdown of the storage used before and after optimization.
Details the amount of space reclaimed by specific supported file types (e.g., PDF, PPT, DOC, XLS).
Lists any supported files that were skipped (e.g., files that could not be reduced further or were unparsable).
Details any folder-level service-access permission issues.
4. Live Report
What it is: A comprehensive, all-time historical record of your storage savings with this specific NXPowerLite Server installation.
When to use it: Use this report to understand your total cumulative savings over time, especially if you are using continuous processing.
Key features:
Includes results from both Single-pass runs and continuous Auto-loop mode compression.
Generates an "Optimize Report" that displays a high-level Data Reclaimed Summary across all file types.
Breaks down your savings historically, showing results from the last 30 days as well as previous months.
Details the configuration settings applied to each of your configured folders.
Since Auto-loop does not generate its own individual reports, you must use a combination of the Live Report and the Activity Summary to track your Auto-loop savings.
