I am having a tough time creating reports.

The 'Custom Reports' wizard you have is severely limited in that you can only select a certain area for report creation.  For example, I am trying to create a Microsoft Compliance for our company.  For that I need to filter all computers, servers, virtual machines that have Microsoft products, I also need to have processor info for each.  This is not possible using the wizard in its current form.

So that leaves me with the query report.  Now, I will admit that I am not very good with SQL, I just know the basics.  The WebDB Visualizer, while helpful to an extent, is clunky, difficult to use and does not seem to show all of the available data.  Your support team has been helpful by providing me with SQL code to paste in, but it is taking me far too long to get the reports done - I need to be able to create them myself.

Therefore, I need to be able to create an ODBC link to ManageEngine so I can use a reporting tool to get the data I need.

Could you please give me instruction on how to connect to the data, including any settings that need to be made to the server its self to allow access from a computer on the same network.  I do not want to have to install a reporting tool on the server itself.

Thanks

Jim
