Creating Query Groups and Report Definitions
10 Define Custom Groups and Reports in Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise
Also, note the Columns control on this page, which is used for selecting the output columns for the report. The
working pane displays an example of what the report will look like. As output columns are selected for a report
definition, their names appear at the top of the sample output display. These headings can be dragged to
change the column order or clicked to specify the required sort order for output rows when the report is
generated.
The Edit link transfers control to the third page of report definition, for specifying the query selection criteria
for the rows to include in the report.
2.3 Selection criteria for a Query Group or Report Definition
As indicated above, the same interface page is used for specifying query selection criteria for a Query Group
and Report Definition. For Query Groups, it is the second page of the interface, and for Report Definitions, it is
the third page of the interface. The same query selection criteria interface page is also used for editing Query
Groups and Report Definitions, except that the current group or report selection criteria details are displayed.
For Query Groups, this page is used to specify the selection criteria for determining which devices to include
in the group. For Report Definitions, it is used to specify the selection criteria for the devices (or other type of
items) to include in the report output (that is, the output rows of the report). The following sections discuss the
tasks you can perform on this page:
 Copy an existing query
 Query Criteria Selection–field definitions
 Query Criteria Selection–Multiple entries
