Creating reports
NOTE:
To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary role-based user privileges and scope-based
operational access to the devices. See Role and scope based access control in OpenManage Enterprise on page 15.
The reports generated by device managers will only have data pertaining to the device groups which are in their scope.
Some tables contain device-type-specific data which will effectively lock the report to that device type. Mixing columns
from multiple device specific tables of different types (for example servers and chassis) will result in an invalid report
with no results.
