Task: To generate a report showing where Microsoft Word is installed in my company.

This tutorial will help you generate reports using Web Control Center. The steps are typical of most reports.

To generate this query, follow these steps:

1. Every page contains tabs for each report category from which you can choose. There may be more than one report available in a category.

   The reporting level control in the options panel on the left of the page shows which part of the organization you can search on. This depends on how your Web Control Center user account was set up by the System Administrator.

2. If you want to focus on a specific area of your company, use the reporting level control to select the Organizational Unit from the drop-down list. (Any Organizational Units within the one you selected are included in the report.)

3. Click on the Software tab.
4. Select the Product versions report.
   
5. Select the manufacturer and product of interest (in this case Microsoft Corporation and Word) from the Manufacturer and Product drop-down lists.
   

6. Click on the Search button.

   A summary of the search results is displayed in a table similar to the example shown below:

   

7. To see more details, click on a highlighted item. For example, to see which machines a particular version is installed on, click on the number of copies for that product version.

   The following example shows the detail displayed when you click in the Copies column. You can then click on the name in the Description column to display specific information for that user's PC.
