Create reports using SQL queries
Create reports from list pages
Duplicate reports
Edit SQL statements on reports created with the report wizard
Create reports from history lists

You can create reports to collect and analyze data, such as inventory information.

There are several ways to create reports:

•
Use the report wizard on the Reports page. See Create reports using the report wizard.
•
Use the SQL report form on the Reports page. See Create reports using SQL queries.
•
Use the menu option on list pages, such as Devices, Assets, Managed Installations, and so on. See Create reports from list pages.

In addition, you can create charts and graphs by generating reports in XSL (Microsoft Excel) or CSV (comma-separated value) format, then importing the data into a tool such as Microsoft Excel.

* 
NOTE: Be aware that multibyte characters, such as those used to support Japanese and Chinese character sets, might display as "garbage characters" when CSV files are imported to Excel. For more information, contact Quest Support at https://support.quest.com/contact-support.

Create reports using the report wizard

Create reports using the report wizard

You can use the report wizard to identify the information you want to collect from the database without writing SQL queries.

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 (Wizard) to display the Step 1 of 5 - Title and Topic page.
3.
Specify the following 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.

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.

Description

A description of the report.

Show Line Numbers

Display a column with line numbers on the report.

Topic

The topic of the report. This setting determines the fields that are available for the report.

add a subtopic

Click this link to add up to two related topics to the report. This enables you to show relationships between up to three types of data in the same report.

When you generate the report in HTML format, you can expand and collapse the rows to drill down into the information as needed.

When you click add a subtopic, additional options become available, depending on the topic you select. For example, if you select Device, Software, and File Synchronization, the following two check boxes appear:

•
Only show rows from Device with at least one File Synchronization row.
•
Only show rows from File Synchronization with at least one Software row.

Selecting these check boxes would limit the report to devices and software that have at least one child row. Device rows would appear in the report only if they have at least one corresponding software row; Software rows would appear in the report only if they have at least one corresponding File Synchronization row.

Clear these check boxes to show all device and software rows regardless of whether they contain any software or File Synchronization rows, respectively.

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.

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.
