Using the Reporting Workspace in Operations Manager
System Center Operations Manager provides extensive reporting capabilities, including multiple report libraries that you can select from to customize reports for your specific requirements. Reports perform a query against the data warehouse database and return the results in an easy-to-read format.
Important
Users must be a member of the Report Operator Users role to run reports.
Reporting
Reporting in the Reporting workspace contains all reports installed with Operations Manager, as well as those reports included in management packs that you've imported.
The report library contains generic reports (for example, Availability and Configuration Changes reports). Generic reports have no specified context. The context for the report is defined in the parameter header, located at the top of the Report window. For a list of reports included with Operations Manager, review Operations Manager reports library.
Authored Reports
Authored reports are based on the existing reports from the report library. You configure a report with prepopulated parameters, and then make it available to other users.
After you run a report, select File, and select Publish to publish the report with the configured parameters to Authored Reports.
Scheduled Reports
You can schedule configured reports to run on a one-time or recurring basis.
After you run a report, select File, and select Schedule to configure the report subscription. For more information, see Scheduling Reports.
