About Reports
Reports are operations that gather selected setting values and information from one or more devices, and create a
report of the results.
These operations can be performed either in real-time (meaning devices are queried when the operation is run), or
using information stored in the database for each device. A hybrid query that will only query devices if the data in the
database is older than a given time period can also be specied. This option is useful to reduce unnecessary real-time
queries on devices, since they are much slower than querying the database.
The results of a report can be saved to the database, and also to an output le such as an Excel spreadsheet, or
delimited text le. When saved to the database, the report results can be viewed at any time using the Report History
viewer. Report results are stored for each time a report is generated and each can be selected, thus providing a history
of the report over time.
Example uses of reports are:
• Keeping track of computers and displays within an organization, by logging the device name, model, serial
number and asset tags.
• Keeping track of the number of operating hours that displays have been in use, the carbon savings, or any
other parameter or supported setting that can be read from a device.
Report Library
All Reports can be managed using the Report Library, available on the Reports menu, or by clicking on the toolbar
button. Reports can be created, edited, duplicated, and deleted from within the Report Library. The execution history of
a report can be viewed and exported.
