Navigate through reports
Use Search to traverse names for all inventory, reports, dashboards and templates. You can narrow your search by selecting a specific category.
Use different navigation methods to slice and examine your collected data. You can explore the data by using parts of your IT infrastructure as the entry point or by using the customizable templates to provide a clear picture into your storage environment. The Inventory Navigator serves as browser mode for your infrastructure.
The platform includes more than 200 standard report templates, periodic releases of cloud reports, along with the ability to build custom reports. Using search is the most efficient way to navigate through the reports. If you know the name of a report, a template or dashboard use Search to find it. If you can't remember a report name, you can click the section in the navigation panel. This displays a list of the 20 most recently run, scheduled in a background run, or modified reports within the last 30 days as limited by your login.
See About the Admin tab.
