Power Management - Historical Reporting Groups

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

We need to look at groups of computers by department. It would seem that the Historical Reporting Groups feature is just what we need, except that its functionality seems extremely limited with respect to what it can group on. Right now it seems as if the only option is to select from the Predefined, Reserved and Master Action Site properties. The properties we want are already defined under other sites.

Is there a way to select those or can we ask that this be a feature request?

Hey John,

Just for my clarification, when you say “properties defined in other sites”, do you mean properties that exist in analyses?

The current intended behavior is that the list of properties you can use in this wizard should be all global properties, which basically should match the list of properties you can use to make columns in the computer list dialog.

Since analyses apply to only a subset of computers, they will not be included in this list. however if there was a specific property you wanted to use, you can create a global copy of it and it should show up in the wizard.

Correct, properties that exist in other analyses. Copying them is ok, but I really don’t like doing that since we already have the data.

Ultimately, we’d like to group by AD OU and / or by TEM Computer Groups.
