Role required: sam_admin or admin

About this task

All the base system Software Asset Management reports and the custom created reports are stored in the SAM Workbench Report [samp_workbench_report] table. List reports are supported by default. For creating other types of reports, you need to create a UIB page in the Software Asset Workspace with the necessary data visualization. A parameter called reportSysId needs to be passed to the UIB page. You can utilize the UIB page's route in the report tile creation form after it has been built.
