Customizing Asset Management › DSM Reporter › Start the DSM Reporter

Start the DSM Reporter

You can start the DSM Reporter in one of the following ways:

• From Windows, click Start, Programs, CA, IT Client Manager, DSM Reporter
• From the DSM Explorer menu bar, click Tools, DSM Reporter

Using the Reporter window you can view reports, browse for report templates and scheduled reports, and create new report templates. Click either of the items in the Information window in the right pane or expand the appropriate Contents item.

Selecting a node in the tree view displays corresponding information or sub items in the Reporter pane. Using property sheets, you can add new items and edit the existing ones. On the other hand, all essential information is displayed directly in the DSM Explorer, so that opening property sheets or dialogs is generally not necessary for viewing data. HTML views provide the user with a quick overview, even for complex report definitions.
