Starting the Report Manager

The Report Manager is used to generate reports. You can run existing reports, or create your own custom reports. The reports use data collected by the Configuration Manager.

If UAC is enabled, you must have elevated permissions to open the Report Manager.

To start the Report Manager, you must be a reporting administrator or a reporting user. Contact your Enterprise Reporter administrator for assistance.

To start the Report Manager

1.	Click the Start menu and select All Programs|Quest Software |Enterprise Reporter|Report Manager.

2.	Type the name of the Enterprise Reporter server.

– OR – 

Click Browse, and locate the computer where the server is installed.

Once you have connected to a server, the server name is stored in the drop-down list for future use.

3.	To connect to the database using SQL credentials, instead of the logged in user, click Advanced, then choose SQL Server Authentication and enter your user name and password.

If you want to connect to the database using these credentials as the default, select Remember Credentials.

4.	If necessary, type in the port number.

5.	Click Connect.

If this is your first time opening the console, you will need to provide your country so your status in Quest’s software improvement program can be determined. You can choose to participate by configuring the software improvement settings on the System | Configuration page.
