Enterprise Reporter provides a unified solution for data discovery and report generation. Using Enterprise Reporter’s Configuration Manager, administrators can easily configure and deploy discovery jobs to collect and store data. Once the data has been collected, the Report Manager allows users to produce reports that help organizations to ensure they comply with industry regulations and standards, internal security policies, monitor hardware and software requirements and many other reporting requirements.

Starting the Report Manager

The Report Manager is used to generate reports. You can run existing reports, or create your own custom reports. The reports use data collected by the Configuration Manager.


	NOTE: To start the Report Manager, you must be a reporting administrator or a reporting user. Contact your Enterprise Reporter administrator for assistance.

Type the name of the Enterprise Reporter server.

Click Browse, and locate the computer where the server is installed.
