When running and emailing a Device Overview Report in OpenManage Enterprise, the available export file format options are HTML, CSV, PDF, and XLS. This allows administrators to select the most suitable format for their needs, whether it’s for viewing in a web browser (HTML), importing into a spreadsheet (CSV or XLS), or distributing a static document (PDF).
Here’s a breakdown of the options:
HTML: HyperText Markup Language, commonly used for creating web pages and web applications.
CSV: Comma-Separated Values, a simple file format used to store tabular data, such as a spreadsheet or database.
PDF: Portable Document Format, a file format used to present documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems.
XLS: An Excel Spreadsheet, which is a file format used by Microsoft Excel.
These formats provide flexibility in how the report can be used and shared. For example, HTML is useful for immediate viewing, CSV for data analysis, PDF for distribution, and XLS for further manipulation in Excel.
The ability to export content of selected reports to these formats is documented in the Dell OpenManage Enterprise support resources1. This ensures that the information can be easily accessed and utilized by the administrator or other stakeholders who need to review the server listings.
