Advanced topics about Query Groups and Report Definitions
18 Define Custom Groups and Reports in Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise
The blue boxes with white text indicate groups of fields that may have multiple occurrences per device. These
headers are discussed later in Avoid multiple multiples.
3.2 Report Definition Categories
Custom Query Groups always query for devices. Therefore, the Devices category is implicitly used for all
these groups. However, report definitions support several additional categories and the necessary category
may be selected for each report. The header structure for these additional report categories is discussed
later.
The Servers category is similar to the Devices context, except that it limits all query results to only server
devices. Therefore, fewer headers are applicable. Reports that use the Servers category report only about
servers, even if no server-specific fields are included in the report definition. For this category, the Storage
headers are for server-specific storage only (not standalone storage devices). The Figure 11 shows headers
for the Servers context:
