About this task
NOTE:
If you are logging in as a Device Manager, only the device groups and devices that are in your scope are available for
viewing and management.
For example, if you are logging in as a Device Manager DM1 user, you can create custom reports only on the groups that are
assigned to Device Manager DM1 user. Other Device Manager users cannot view the custom reports created on the same group
since custom reports are not shared resources.
NOTE:
If custom reports are created along with Power Manager categories, these categories are hidden when Power
Manager is disabled or deleted when Power Manager is uninstalled.
