Reports
By clicking OpenManage Enterprise > Monitor > Reports, you can build customized reports to view device details at depth.
Reports enables you to view data about the devices, jobs, alerts, and other elements of your data center. Reports are built-in,
and user-defined. You can edit or delete only the user-defined reports. Definitions and criteria used for a built-in report cannot
be edited or deleted. A preview about the report you select from the Reports list is displayed in the right pane.
The reports and the data displayed on the Reports page depend on the scope based user privileges that you have in
OpenManage Enterprise. For example, device managers have access to only the reports that they have created in addition
to the built-in reports. Also, the report generated by a user would contain data from only the devices that are in the scope for
that user. For example, reports generated by administrator and 'unrestricted' device managers will contain data on all the device
groups, however, the reports generated by device managers who have a restricted scope would have data pertaining to only the
devices and/or device groups that are in their scope.
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.
