Generating a Report

To generate a report:

1. Expand the function tree to display the type of report you want to generate. For example, if you want to generate disk capacity report, expand the Reporting > Capacity > Disk Capacity nodes.
2. Highlight a By clause to determine how you want to view a report. For example, click Reporting > Capacity> Disk Capacity > By Computer Group to view capacity information according to computer group. The Selection page is displayed.
3. Click the Selection... button to select the objects that you want to report upon from the Select Resources window.
4. Click the Filter... button to further filter the objects that appear in a report. Filters enable you to apply general rules to the report based on the rows in that report. See Filtering the Resources that Appear in a Report for more information on filtering.
5. Use the Available Columns and Included Columns list boxes to determine what columns are displayed in a generated report.
6. Click Generate Report. A new page will be added to the page representing the report you want to generate.

The reports are tabular in format and are comprised of rows and columns. You can scroll the report up and down and to the right and left to view the entire report. Use the View menu to hide/show the function tree to increase the viewable area of the report or drag the divider bar in the middle of the screen back and forth to reallocate the amount of space that is given each pane.
