New Legacy Report Dialog Box

Note:This feature is available for System Center Configuration Manager deployment technology only.

You can create a new legacy report that derives data from an available stored SQL view or procedure. You can link columns to external reports from System Center Configuration Manager by passing the correct query string values.

You create a new legacy report on the New Legacy Report dialog box, which is opened by clicking New Legacy Report on the Reporting view.

The New Legacy Report dialog box includes the following properties:

Report Category	Select a category to associate the report to. Note:You can create and secure categories in the Report Categories node under Site Management > Categories.

Example	After you click Save, additional fields are displayed along with an example: ReportID=10&Machine=##ColumnName## In this example, the selected report has a column, Machine, that is linked to an System Center Configuration Manager report with a report ID of 10. Report ID 10 requires a variable called Machine which contains a machine name. When the user selects a machine from the machine column, they will be directed to System Center Configuration Manager report ID 10.
