SAM Manager Report

Part of the ALVAO SAM Assistant module is the SAM Manager Report (SAM Manager Report.rdl) which provides operative overview of installed Sw and purchased licenses.
The report graphically represents status in the whole registry and lists the information about a few most important objects only.
The graphs serve to gain general overview and to facilitate deciding which information you need to view in detail. Therefore there is a link to corresponding part of ALVAO Asset Management in the description of individual graphs (below).

Note:
The report has not been translated from Czech language yet.
Tip:
Detailed information can be obtained also in the Asset Management Analysis.xlsm analytical Excel located in the installation folder of the installed Alvao Asset Management Console.

Warning:
The reports show objects and licenses regardless the access permissions set for users.
