6. **Optional:** To change the fields displayed, click **Show Options**, and then in the **Select Fields** list, select the check box for the event data you want to show in the results.

   All fields are selected by default.

8. Click **Run**.

9. To modify the report, change any of the previous parameters and click **Run** to update the results.

10. To export the report in `.csv` format, click **Export**.
