Generating Reports: Using GA vs. Using GAX

Genesys Administrator Extension (GAX) can now generate all reports that are available in Genesys Administrator (GA), and some new reports that GA does not offer. Configuration of GVP 8.1.7 and above, as well as the ability to generate most reports, remains in Genesys Administrator (GA).

Note: To generate the reports in GAX using the Reporting Server (RS) Plug-in, ensure that you add the RS application in the Connections tab of the GAX application in Configuration Server.

Below is a breakdown of reports that you can generate with GAX vs. with GA.
