Predefined reports let you easily view and analyze your Software Management
Solution data. The reports are grouped in folders by type in the Symantec
Management Console.
See
"Running a Software Management Solution report"
You can also create your own custom reports.
For more information, see the topics about custom Notification Server reports in
the Symantec Management Platform Help.
By default, all the Software Management Solution reports support resource
scoping, which limits the data that users can access based on their security roles.
The Software Management Solution reports use the scoping feature as follows:
When a user runs a report, the report contains only the data that the user has
permissions for.
When a user saves a snapshot of a report, the snapshot is scoped according to
that user s permissions. The users who have a lower security role than the
original user cannot view the snapshot. The users who have a higher security
role than the original user can see only the data that the original user was
allowed to access.
You can clone a report and edit the clone s SQL query to customize how the
data is scoped when it is extracted for that report. You can also include scoping
information when you create an SQL query for a custom report.
You can clone a report and edit the clone to select the fields that are scoped
when data is extracted from that report s snapshots.
For more information, see the topics about configuring the scoping fields in a
report and about defining an SQL query in the Symantec Management Platform
Help.
