Reporting Guide

Pre-Defined Reports

Pre-defined reports

Desktop Authority includes several pre-defined reports for use within the Reporting tool. Pre-defined reports may be used as is or modified to suit ones particular needs.

The pre-defined report set includes the following report categories:

Pre-defined report parameters

All pre-defined reports have a parameter dialog that displays prior to the actual report. This parameter dialog is used to filter data on the reports. The filters offered for each report are used in the SQL statement that fetches the data for the report. The parameter dialogs differ based on the selected report.

In the parameter dialogs, all character based values can use the % wildcard value. A % symbol can be added to the beginning and/or end of a phrase.

%RD       will return all values that end with RD
RD%       will return all values that start with RD
%RD%      will return all values that contain the characters RD

Example Parameter Dialog:

This example demonstrates the use of a wildcard value in the Computer Name parameter. In this case, using PC% in the computer name field, will return all data corresponding to computers that begin with the letters 'PC'.
