of data queried it can take between 5 and 20 minutes to generate the report.

(magnifying glass). The configured OTC Endpoints appear according to the user’s 

access. Click the appropriate OTC Endpoint radio button.

generate a report that contains data for the subordinate OTC Endpoints. Remove the 

check mark to generate a report that contains data only for the selected OTC 

Endpoint.
