Viewing and Customizing Reports

The Saved Reports page of IT Asset Management enables you to view, create, and manage reports. IT Asset Management offers the following types of reports:

IT Asset Management reportsIT Asset Management comes with a set of reports that assist with decision making based on current data. For example, you can generate a report to view the installations of a selected application.

Tip:If the report you require doesn't exist, consider adding columns and applying filters on the appropriate view. For more information, see the topics under Using Filters to Limit Data Size.

Custom reports—Design and save your own reports by adding objects (such as applications, licenses or purchases) and choosing which related information to include. For example, you can create a report to view non-compliant Microsoft licenses in a particular enterprise group. A custom report is accessible only to the user who creates it unless the Public access permission is set on the report. For more information, see Working With Custom Reports.
