SRM
reports provide a sleek, versatile, and easy-to-use reporting
framework that enables you to easily and effectively choose, view, and analyze
vital data. Customized reporting is available through the selection
of filter criteria (e.g., individual columns, specific clients, specific client computer
groups, etc.) and filters. These are SQL based queries, which can be easily configured from the CommCell Console when specifying filter criteria of an SRM report.
From the CommCell Console, the SRM Report Manager provides these types of
reports:

Costing
Initial templates are provided for each type (e.g., Cost History by Application,
Cost History by Billable Entity, etc.) where columns have been preselected. You could also specify certain report options before running a report, these options control how data is presented in the report. You could either accept
the defaults or modify the options as per requirement.
A data collection job must also have
been run prior to generating the report.
The Cost Analysis reports have an additional feature of providing the costs in any currency selected using control panel. For more information, see
