Create reports using SQL queries

Create reports using SQL queries

You can create reports by entering SQL queries on the report form.

If you do not know the SQL queries to use, consider using the report wizard. See Create reports using the report wizard.

1.
Go to the Reports list by doing one of the following:
◦
If your appliance has the Organization component enabled, and you want to access a System-level report:

Log in to the appliance System Administration Console, https://appliance_hostname/system, or select System from the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page. Then click Reporting.

System-level reports include consolidated reports that aggregate information from all organizations, as well as standard reports for various appliance components.

◦
If your appliance does not have the Organization component enabled, or if you want to access an organization-level report, log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information. Then click Reporting.

Organization-level reports include standard reports for various appliance components. If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, these reports provide information specific to the selected organization.

The Reports list appears.
2.
Select Choose Action > New (SQL) to display the Report Detail page.
3.
Specify report settings:

Option

Description

Title

The display name of the report, which appears on the report list. Make the title as descriptive as possible, so you can distinguish the report from others in the list.

Description

A description of the report.

Category

The category of the report. If the category does not already exist, it is added to the drop-down list on the Reports page.

Break on Columns

A comma-separated list of SQL column names. The report generates break headers and subtotals for these columns.

Show Line Numbers

Display a column with line numbers on the report.

SQL

The query statement that generates the report data. For more information, go to the MySQL documentation at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/.

When writing a report or query against the Service Desk HD_Ticket table, be aware that the User custom field stores the user ID from the USER table in the HD_TICKET table, which is the table that holds the ticket record. If you want to display the username instead of the user ID in the report, you need to JOIN on the USER table.

See Database table names.

Organization settings

These settings are available only at the System level on appliances with the Organization component enabled. Options include:

•
All Organizations: The SQL Select statement is modified to iterate across all organizations, and the report contains information for all organizations.
•
Aggregate results: The SQL Select statement is modified to combine the records of all organizations, and the report contains summary information for all organizations. Standard reports of this type are categorized as Consolidated Reports.
4.
Click Save.
The appliance checks the report syntax and displays any errors.
5.
To run the new report, click a format in the Generate Report column.
Tip:
 
TIP: Charts and graphs cannot be created from within the appliance reporting tool. To create charts or graphs, generate a report in XLS (Microsoft Excel) or CSV (comma-separated value) format, then import the data into a tool that has chart or graph capabilities, such as Microsoft Excel.

Create reports from list pages

Create reports from list pages

You can create reports while viewing list pages, such as the Devices page.

1.
Go to a list page. For example, to go to the Devices page, do the following:
a.
If applicable, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Inventory, then click Devices.
2.
Select Choose Action > Create Report to display the Report Detail page.

If you want to display the username instead of the user ID in the report, you need to JOIN on the USER table.

4.
Click Save.

The report appears on the Reports page.

Duplicate reports

Duplicate reports

You can duplicate any report, including standard reports that are shipped with the appliance. If you are creating a report that is similar to an existing report, duplicating the existing report can be faster than creating a report from scratch.

1.
Go to the Reports list by doing one of the following:
◦
If your appliance has the Organization component enabled, and you want to access a System-level report:

Log in to the appliance System Administration Console, https://appliance_hostname/system, or select System from the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page. Then click Reporting.

System-level reports include consolidated reports that aggregate information from all organizations, as well as standard reports for various appliance components.

◦
If your appliance does not have the Organization component enabled, or if you want to access an organization-level report, log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information. Then click Reporting.

Organization-level reports include standard reports for various appliance components. If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, these reports provide information specific to the selected organization.

Edit SQL statements on reports created with the report wizard

Edit SQL statements on reports created with the report wizard

You can edit the SQL statements on single-topic reports created with the report wizard.

This editing is useful when you want to change the SQL statement, or when you want to copy the SQL statement to a new report. The edit option is not available on multi-topic reports.

1.
Go to the Reports list by doing one of the following:
◦
If your appliance has the Organization component enabled, and you want to access a System-level report:

Log in to the appliance System Administration Console, https://appliance_hostname/system, or select System from the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page. Then click Reporting.

3.
At the bottom of the form, click Edit SQL to display the Report Detail page.
4.
Edit or copy text in the SQL field as needed, then click Save.
* 
NOTE: When copying SQL statements from one type of report to another, you might have to modify the SQL statement before you can use it. For example, if you copy the SQL statement from an application compliance report, and paste it into a report that has the Aggregate Results option for organizations selected, the appliance reports errors in the SQL statement. You cannot save the report until the errors are resolved.
