Reports > Inventory
What does the Inventory report show me?
Inventory lists all unique items collected during an audit and identifies the machines containing that item. Any item in System Info or PCI & Disk HW may be selected to run an inventory report on.
What does a filter do?
The filter restricts the items listed in the inventory to only those items matching the filter. For example, If you run an Inventory report on the Motherboard Manufacturer field and set the filter to "*Intel*" you will only see items manufactured by Intel (or Intel Corp or any other variation) in the report.
