6.3 Viewing and Generating Reports

In addition to being able to view audit data in the ZENworks Control Center Audit log and Dashboard, you can also use ZENworks Reporting to generate reports against the events in the audit database.

By using the ZENworks Audit domain in ZENworks Reporting, you can create custom tabular, cross tab, and chart reports. You can further mix and match these reports into dynamic Dashboards that provide you with the required data view. ZENworks Reporting also enables you to view predefined reports.
