The report action displays a Configuration Manager 2007 report in the Configuration Manager console.

The following attributes and elements are specific to an action that opens a report box:

  • The ActionDescription element Class attribute is set to Report.

  • The ReportDescription element ID attribute is the GUID of the report to be displayed. The GUID maps to the SMS_Report class ReportGUID property.

Note

An alternative method to load a report is to use the executable action to launch the report's URL. This will display the report in a new window rather than in the Configuration Manager console.

Sample Report Action XML

The following XML demonstrates how to display a report, identified by its GUID, in the Configuration Manager console:

<ActionDescription Class="Report" DisplayName="Test Action (report)" MnemonicDisplayName="Mnemonic" Description="Description">
    <ReportDescription Id="05874720-1D08-4CF7-B182-5F9D065BEAE5">    </ReportDescription>
</ActionDescription>
