Configuration Manager Report Action

  • Article

The report action displays a Configuration Manager report in the Configuration Manager console.

The following attributes and elements are specific to an action that opens a report box:

  • The ActionDescription element Class attribute is set to Report.

  • The ReportDescription element ReportName attribute is the GUID of the report to be displayed. The GUID maps to the SMS_Report class ReportGUID property.

Note

An alternative method to load a report is to use the executable action to launch the report's URL. This will display the report in a new window rather than in the Configuration Manager console.

Sample Report Action XML

The following XML demonstrates how to display a report, identified by its GUID, in the Configuration Manager console:

<ActionDescription Class="Report" DisplayName="Test Action (report)" MnemonicDisplayName="Mnemonic" Description="Description"> <ShowOn>      <string>DefaultContextualTab</string> <!-- RIBBON -->     <string>ContextMenu</string> <!-- Context Menu -->   </ShowOn>        
 <ReportDescription ReportName="05874720-1D08-4CF7-B182-5F9D065BEAE5">  
 </ReportDescription>  
</ActionDescription>
