Java Desktop System Configuration Manager Release 1.1 Administration Guide

ProcedureCreating a Report

Steps
  1. Click the Create Report button in the appropriate window of the Content pane.

    The Configuration Report dialog appears.

  2. Customize the settings for the following options:

    • The Organization Tree option contains the fully qualified path to the organization member (organization, user or role) currently selected in the navigation area.

    • The Domain Tree option contains the fully qualified path to the domain member (domain or host) currently selected in the navigation area.

    • Use the radio buttons in the Use for the Report section to specify the configuration settings to use in the report. The configuration settings of a member of the organization tree, the configuration settings of a member of the domain tree, or a combination of the two settings can be used. The main use for the latter case is to provide the administrator a way to list the configuration for user 'a' on machine 'b'. The default selection of the radio button group depends on the selected tab in the Navigation pane. If the Users tab page is open, the Settings in the Organization Tree choice is selected by default. Otherwise, if the Hosts tab page is open, the Settings in the Domain Tree choice is selected.


      Note –

      If the administrator clicks the Create Report button while the configuration settings of a policy group are displayed in the Policies tab page in the Content pane, neither of the user interface elements listed in the paragraph above are displayed, because it makes no sense to generate a report for a policy group in combination with any other member. A report of a policy group always contains the configuration settings based on the selected policy group only.


    • The Status Path and the Description check boxes are used to toggle the display of the "Status Path" and "Description" columns in the report window.

  3. Click the Create Report button to close the Configuration Report dialog.

    Once customized, clicking on the report opens a read-only view of the selected data.
