There are five report categories:

Each category contains a collection of reports, of which there are three types:

  • Predefined reports: system default reports with a predefined set of filters and columns. Each report is designed to convey specific information about your devices. You can customize a report's filters, columns, and sort order and save your changes to either a custom view of the predefined report or a new user-defined report.

    Predefined reports are indicated by the applicable report category icon accompanied by the Absolute logo (e.g. ). You can access predefined reports from Absolute view of the Reports page or the applicable report category.

  • User-defined reports: reports that you created by editing a report and saving your changes to a new report using the Save as option. The new report is automatically added to both My Reports view of the Reports page and the report category of its parent. User-defined reports are indicated by the applicable report category icon (e.g. ). You can share your user-defined reports with other users.
  • Shared reports: read-only reports that were created by another user and shared with you. You can view a shared report in Shared with me view of the Reports page or the report category of its parent. Shared reports are indicated by the applicable report category icon (e.g. ) and a icon.
