Choose reports to display

You can choose the reports to display with an Inventory object. Once selected, your choices are displayed as tabs in the Inventory Reports view. Reports displayed under Available Reports by Category are controlled by privileges and license restrictions.

  • See Filter within available reports by category.

Only a subset of the full report catalog is represented in the Inventory. A curated set of report templates are displayed and organized by a high-level category. When displayed in the Inventory, these templates are sorted into information categories such as performance, storage or forecasting.

Displayed reports are either tied to the object selection by subsystem or the report is generic in nature. The report list is controlled by privileges and license restrictions.

Custom reports built using the Dynamic Template Designer and the SQL Template Designer are also displayed.

Report templates built for arrays, hosts, backup servers, datastores, VM guests and VM servers using the Dynamic Template Designer or SQL Template Designer can be assigned an Inventory report category during the creation process.

See Quick Start Step 1: Create a Basic Table Dynamic Template.

See Inventory Report Configuration.

Object type and subsystem can also be defined for further classification.

If a category has not been assigned, these templates are displayed under the heading Uncategorized. You can always assign a category, by customizing an existing template.

See Customize and Export Dynamic Templates.

See Edit a Custom Report Template.

Your selections are displayed as functional categories in the Inventory Reports view.
