The Reports Feature Display

In this section, the following topics are discussed:

Search pane

All tab views have a search pane that allow you to search for information in the SA Client by selecting a component category and entering a keyword in the search text field. The results appear in a configurable list in the contents pane with an option to specify additional filter criteria.

Report folders

Reports are organized into folders according to regulatory or IT best practice standards.

  • Server Reports: This folder contains reports about servers by customer, facility, manufacturer, model, operating system, and server usage.
  • Virtualization Reports: This subfolder contains reports about virtual servers and resource allocation by technology and by hypervisor.
  • Network Reports: This folder contains reports about connections and duplex compliance for network devices and servers. You must have NA installed to see this folder.
  • User and Security Reports: This folder contains reports about client and feature permissions; customer, facility, and device group permissions; and user group memberships. You must have system administrator permissions to see this folder.

The following figure illustrates how the Report folders appear in the navigation pane, including the reports listed in each folder.

Reports parameters

Many reports require input parameters in order to be run. For these reports, you can run the report with its default parameter values or modify the parameter values. If you want to run a report that includes or excludes certain servers, customers, or hardware models, you need to specify this criteria in the report parameters. See Running a report.
