Reports and notifications help keep release management stakeholders informed of status, history, and other release information. Serena Release Control provides a default set of reports and notifications, and you can configure these as needed to support your organization.
Some of the Serena Business Manager reports are used to populate the Serena Release Control user interface views. You can configure those as documented in Customizing the User Interface.
In addition to reports used for the UI views, you can configure general reports to provide the information you need for your organization’s release control.
The general reports configured by default for Serena Release Control are shown in the following table.
