The Windows Services Report provides a view of Windows services that WhatsConnected discovers running on each network device. It also provides 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 separated values (CSV) file, or view a device in the Device Viewer.
Important: Each Windows host device for which you want to collect software inventory, operating system inventory, BIOS inventory, and warranty inventory information must have the WMI feature enabled. For more information about enabling WMI on Windows systems, see the operating system help.
Additionally, make sure that WMI credentials are configured in WhatsConnected. For more information, see Configuring Protocol Settings/Credentials.

To filter the report view:

To filter the report:
