Viewing a Report

You can view a report of inventory data that has been scanned and stored in the database from devices on your network. Additionally, you can view reports from the demonstration database. For information about scanning inventory items, see Scanning Inventory Data.

To view a report, follow these steps:

1. Click Inventory Management > Reports. The Select a Data Source page appears.
2. Click Inventory or Demo. The Select a Report page appears.

3. Click the Report that you want. The Report Results page appears with the report that you selected. The following report (Software Inventory—All) is generated from the Inventory Management System demo database.

NOTE: If a report remains idle for more than 30 minutes, any subsequent manipulation on the expired report will result in an error message "Report instance expired. Please select a data source again." Click Select a Data Source in the top right area of the title bar. Then select the report that you were viewing from the Select a Report page.

For information about types of Inventory reports, see Understanding Report Data Sources.

The TX Matrix routing platform consist of the TX Matrix platform (also known as the switch-card chassis [SCC]) and the attached T640 routing nodes (also known as line-card chassis [LCC]).
