The Systems Insight Manager reporting features enable you to generate many different types of
reports. In addition to offering predefined reports, you also can create user-defined custom reports,

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) and
you have the option to send the generated report to a predefined recipient through email.
