The following list gives the steps to view inventory information, query inventory, and generate inventory reports:
NOTE: To view the inventory information, you must have administrative privileges. An administrator can assign users as trustees of the database object. See Assigning Trustees to the Database Object in Workstation Inventory in Administration.
To view the following inventory information in ConsoleOne:

Minimal inventory information of a managed workstation: Right-click a managed workstation > click Properties > click ZENworks Inventory > click Minimal Information.
Query the Inventory database: Click Tools > click Configure DB > click a ZENworks Database object > click OK. Click a container > click Tools > click Inventory Query.
Generate the inventory reports: Click Tools > click Configure DB > click a ZENworks Database object > click OK. Click the server object > Click Tools > click Inventory Reports > Click the report you want to generate. Specify the Selection Criteria. Click the Run Selected Report button.
NOTE: To generate inventory reports from an Inventory database with inventory information of more than 2,000 workstations, use the Data Export tool for better performance. The Data Export tool generates the inventory information in to a comma separated value (.CSV) file. Use this .CSV file along with any standard reporting tool such as Seagate* Crystal Reports*.
Exporting the inventory data to comma separated value format: Click Tools > click Configure DB > click a ZENworks Database object > click OK. Click Tools > click Data Export. Follow the Data Export wizard instructions.
