Report Template Editors
Dell OpenManage Network Manager has several report template editors. Creating a New template,
can make Comparison, Table and Trend templates.
This editor has General, Inventory, and Layout tabs.
You can edit any but pre-existing templates, whether they have reports attached to them or not.
Consider this example:
Template T has three columns; A, B and C. Someone creates a report R against Template T,
executes the report, saves the data as a historical report H1. Two weeks later, someone modifies the
Template T, removing column C, adding column D.
When executing report R against the revised Template T’, the report now shows columns A, B and
D. User saves the report as historical report H2. Here, H1 only has data for columns A, B and C. H2
has data for columns A, B and D.
