reports. In addition to offering predefined reports, you also can create user-defined custom
reports, and reporting features enable you to edit, copy, and delete any reports you create. All
users with sign-in access to Systems Insight Manager can generate reports.
You have the option to run reports based on a schedule (at a predefined time and frequency)
