Note: Primary reports, which are identified by a 1 placed in the Display column,
can be run independently. Sub-reports, which are identified by a 0 placed in the
Display column, work in conjunction with primary reports, and therefore are
dependent on a primary report. As a result, some sub-reports cannot be run
separately.
Creating a custom report
In addition to generating common reports, you can create and run custom reports.
Custom reports are made by modifying common reports provided with the System
Information Center program. Custom reports are typically created by an
Administrator account and are useful if you need to generate reports that
specifically meet the needs of your enterprise environment.
You can create custom reports by adding or subtracting columns to common
reports. The System Information Center program provides a database with several
tables, each of which has a series of columns that contain specific asset and user
information. Using the System Information Center program's GUI, you can add
these columns to existing reports to help you create a custom report.
To add the appropriate column, or columns, to a custom report, you will need to
identify the table that contains the column, or columns, you want to add. For
detailed information regarding the tables provided with the database and the
columns that are associated with each table, see Appendix B, "Using database
information," on page 79.

1. At the Logon window, type your User ID and Password. Click Submit. The
