Creating New Reports_Gen

Under the DATA SOURCES tab, you can view the list of configured Data Sources for each module using which you can create the related report. Each Data Source is based on a Tenant Category. You can view two types of Data Source tables:

Main table: Main tables are static Data Sources using which you can create a report. For example, in the Asset Management module, Asset Master data source table is a main table.
Dynamic table: Dynamic tables are dynamically created based on a Tenant or Category. For example, in the Asset Management module, AM_B1C1_Laptop data source table is a dynamic table. In Asset Management, a data source is a combination of Tenant and Category, whereas, in Service Request Management, a data source is a combination of Tenant, Category, and Catalog.

To create a report, select the check box of the related Data Source, and then click CONTINUE TO FIELDS.
