Custom reports are reports that you have modified that help you generate information specific to your enterprise environment. This section describes how to work with reports, including generating a common report and using custom reports. 32

Working
with
reports
There

two
types
of
reports
contained
within
the
System
Information
Center
program.
Common
reports
are
reports
that
are
provided
with
the
program
and
are
aimed
at
helping
you
generate
general
information
that
you
might
need
on
a
more
regular
basis.
Custom
reports
are
reports
that
you
have
modified
that
help
you
generate
information
specific
to
your
enterprise
environment.
This
section
describes
how
to
work
with
reports,
including
generating
a
common
report
and
using
custom
reports.
