Select Report Scope

You can create static reports or dynamic reports. To create static reports, define your report scope based on a list of individual enterprise objects, such as hosts or arrays. To produce dynamic reports, define your report scope based on domain, host groups, and attributes.

To learn about how report scope selects objects. Refer to the following.

See Report Scope .

See Advanced Filtering for Tabular Reports.

Report scope operates with the following logic:

  • Report scope is restricted to objects of the same type, such as arrays and array vendors, but not host groups.

  • Detail reports have limited report scope capabilities. For reports that are the result of drilling into details from a parent report, those detail reports can have their own unit of measure, separate from the parent report settings. Once you've drilled into a child report, you can edit the report scope and use the Advanced option to change the measurement unit to see more accurate or easily understandable information. For example, an Array Capacity & Utilization report shows aggregated data in TiB. When you drill down to a detail report, it may be more useful to switch to MiB.
