Query Results

Displays the data stored in the Novell® ZENworks® Inventory database on querying the selected quick report.

The Query Results dialog box displays data for a maximum of 1000 inventoried machines.

You can perform the following operations in this dialog box:

Exporting the Entries to an XML or a CSV File

  1. Click Export.
  2. In the Export Results dialog box, specify the XML or the CSV filename, and select the corresponding file type.

By default, the file is saved as quick_report_name.xml in the ConsoleOne_installation_directory\consoleone\1.2\reporting\export directory.

NOTE: If you specify a filename within double quotes, and without an extension or with an extension other than .xml or .csv, the file is stored in the comma-separated value (CSV) format irrespective of the file type you select.

Sorting the Display Either in the Ascending or Descending Order

  1. Click Sort.
  2. In the Sort Items By list, select the column by which you want to sort the entries.
  3. Select either Ascending or Descending.
  4. Configure the Then By drop-down lists.
  5. Click OK.

For example, the Query Results window has the following entries:

Product Name
Vendor Name

If you want to sort the entries first by the vendor name in the ascending order and then sort all the Novell products in the ascending order, do the following:

Stopping the Data Retrieval Process

The Quick Report retrieves the data from the ZENworks Inventory database. You can stop the retrieval process by clicking Stop in the status bar of the Query Results dialog box.

The status bar displays the count of machines whose data has been retrieved. If you stop the process while the data for a single machine has not yet been completely retrieved, the Query Results dialog box displays the data retrieved until that time, but the status bar does not contain any message. And, if you stop the process while the data is being retrieved for multiple machines, the status bar displays the count of machines for which the data has been completely retrieved.
