Customizing Asset Management › DSM Reporter › Features

Features

Using the Reporter, you can create reports based on the following categories:

Computers

Includes reports for computer specific information such as manufacturer information, service level, summary, user relation, virtual machine reports and so on.

DSM Infrastructure

Includes reports for the engine information and information on all managed assets in the domain.

Hardware

Includes reports for the hardware information.

Network

Includes reports for the network information.

Policies

Include reports for the policy related information.

Unmanaged Assets

Includes reports for the unmanaged assets.

Users

Includes reports for the user specific information.

Using these types of data, you can create sophisticated reports with little effort. You can create reports based solely on, for example Software Inventory or you can mix data of all seven kinds. Thus, for example, you could find all computers that have the Netscape Navigator program installed, and then have the report display the names of the people who use these computers. The Reporter lets you query the database for the various data gathered by the agent from each computer in the domain.

The Reporter features include for example:

• Integrated explorer-like handling of Report Templates and Results, featuring user definable unlimited folder and template structure
• Results can be viewed immediately in the GUI
• Results can be exported to files in various formats
• Reporting on general asset properties, software properties, properties for executed jobs and modules
• Reporting on current inventory values as well as most recent, previously collected values
• Reporting on non-specific logical inventory groups, like All Processors and All Local Drives
• Point-and-click filter editor with color syntax hi-lighting. Default filters for Report Templates as well as individual filtering of each result set
• Creation of SQL scripts for running a report
• Printing of HTML reports that can be customized
