Asset/Inventory Report

The Asset/Inventory Report provides a view of the network assets discovered by WhatsConnected as well as tools to sort and filter the assets that appear in the view. You can choose which columns you would like to display, sort on any column, and filter the report by device type. You can preview and print the report, save the report in a comma seperated values (CSV) file, or view a device in the Device Viewer. When an asset acts as a chassis for other assets, you can either view just the chassis, or the chassis and all of its associated assets.

To view the report:

On the WhatsConnected console, click Reports, then select the Asset/Inventory Report.

The following is a list of the information available about individual device assets in the report.
