Creating Inventory Reports

You can start generating reports by clicking the main menu item "Service - Create report" (or context menu item "Create report", or toolbar button). That will open the Report Creation Wizard.

Step 1. Tick the needed computers. Uncheck the "Collect new data and update the database" setting if you want to create the report with the data available locally and save time. Click "Next".

Step 2. Select the data groups to be included in the report.

Report name will be printed on the report header. If the field is empty, it will be filled in automatically when you click on the first data group.

Step 3 (Optional): Using Templates.

The program allows using templates for creating reports. Templates can save you time when you create complex reports. The template creation wizard will help you set up more precise groups of data to be included in the report. Click "Templates..." to create, edit, or apply templates. The following window will appear:

Select the report template on the of predefined templates list and click "Select" to proceed to the Step 3.2.

Click "New" to create new template.

Click "Edit" to view or edit the selected template.

The Template Creation Wizard appears:

The left part of the report editor window displays groups of data which you can include in the report. The right part of the window displays data to be included in the report for each group.
Select the data to be included in the report. Click "Finish".

Select the report template on the list of predefined templates and click "Select".

Step 3.2. After selection of the necessary template, you will be placed to the Step 2.

Click "Next".

Step 4. Select the file format for saving report(s). The following formats are available:

• HTML
• MS Word
• MS Excel
• CSV
• Text file

If you have selected several computers to generate reports for, you can use the option "Create separate report for every computer", which allows saving reports for different computers in separate files, or create one common report file. The program can name these files automatically according to the specified file name template. You can use the following variables for the file name template:

• $Date$ - Date of report creation
• $Address$ - Computer's network address
• $Computer$ - Computer's inventory name (inventory number, owner's name, etc.)
• $Report$ - report pattern name (Memory, Processor etc.)

You can include any symbols allowed in file names into the file name template.
Click the "Finish" button and wait until the reports have been generated.
