# Report Creation/Editing

## What

Creation of a new report is used for the intent of reporting on some condition, like the version of an application or how much free space devices have.

## When/Why

We will typically use reports both for ourselves (to get a feel for the state of the environment), and they are also very useful for communicating "status" to senior management.

## How

We'll go into the details of building reports in the articles linked below, but we'll simply start with creation of the report and giving it a name.

Each report we create has the ability to report on one of the following:

- Devices (Lists devices based on a criteria)
- Applications (Useful for seeing what is installed)
- Licenses (For reporting on License utilization)
- Payloads (For showing information on items you are deploying)
- Boosters (For information about boosters)
