Software Inventory Report

Software

I am trying to create a Software Inventory report based on a Group of PC's but don't seem able to add a filter for this.

Can anyone point me in the right direction

Many Thanks

Mark

Conditions can be added to filter the report by going to [Settings -> Manage Reports -> Select "Software Inventory Report" -> Click "Edit Report" -> and editing the "SoftwareDataSet"] as pictured below.

Thanks aLTeReGo...

However I'm not sure how this will work. I need to add a filter somewhere for the Group, when I do this I get an error message, see below as obviously this information doesn't exists in the DB.

I can't find a Node property which identifies it is in a Group and hence add a filter..

Any other suggestions would be welcomed

Thanks

You would not use groups, but rather Custom Properties to categorize and classify these devices for filtering within the report.

Thanks,

I have added a description into the department field for the node and used this as the filter; report is now working as expected.

Many thanks for you assistance

Kind Regards

How are you forming your report to get a list of applications and install count? When I create a query to list all workstations, select the inventory info etc all I get is a list of all the software installed on them?

I don't see how to get an overall list of software with installation count. I would have thought there would have been some basic out of the box reports for standard things like this which can then be copied an edited as required?

Hi Lufffunk, What version of NPM are you running? I installed 11.0.1 and there are a few new reports built in with one of them being a software inventory asset report (under custom) This lists all the software across the devices it has collected from and the number of occurances. In order to break it down I have had to add some information into the node details i.e. Department so that I can report on specific areas. Hope that helps.
