Report Manager#

The Report Manager is the central place to save, browse, and run object reports. A report is a stored combination of a filter (which objects to include) and a column set (what to show about them), so the same question can be re-asked any time without rebuilding the filter.

Open it from Reporting > Report Manager in the top navigation.

What you can answer#

A report typically answers questions like Which IT assets were purchased last quarter? or How many laptops are currently in repair? The first time you open the page a Quick tour walks you through the concept in two steps.

Layout#

The page is a single table inside a card titled Reports with the columns:

Column Notes
(checkbox) Selects rows for the Delete bulk action.
Actions Per-row actions including opening the report.
Title Report name. Click the column header to sort.
Last modified by User who last changed the report.
Last modified date Timestamp of the last change.

Above the table:

  • Add + opens the report builder.
  • Delete removes the rows selected via the checkboxes.

Create a report#

  1. Click Add +.
  2. Pick the attributes you want to filter by. You can use any attribute from any category as a filter; an object qualifies for the report if it matches every filter you set.
  3. Pick the attributes you want to show as columns. This works the same way as Preset configuration.
  4. Give the report a name and save.

The new report appears in the list and can be opened, edited, or duplicated.

Run a report#

Click the report's title (or the row's open action) to run it. The report shows the matching objects in a table that you can filter, sort, export, and use as the basis for further searches.

Delete a report#

Tick the rows you want to remove and click Delete above the table. Confirm the prompt to remove the saved report. Deleting a report does not delete any of the objects inside it.
