This service allows a group administrator to generate a report on the resources used in the group and in each department.

Details

This capability allows a group administrator to generate reports on the resources used in the group and in each department, and can select the information to be reported. The report is generated dynamically when an administrator submits a request. The report is sent by e-mail to the account provided on the Inventory Report page as an ASCII attachment file and is displayed in separate window in ASCII comma-separated value (CSV) format. The resources reported include:

• Phone numbers
• Devices
• Users and departments
• Services

Reports are displayed on a web page in CSV format, which can be exported easily to a spreadsheet for sorting and archiving.

The group administrator submits the form by clicking the View button. The report is generated dynamically and is sent in ASCII CSV format to the specified e-mail address. Also, a window pops up and displays the Resource Inventory Report in ASCII CSV format.
