Environment

Novell ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management - ZAM7.5

Situation

When you create a custom report in the WebConsole, you can specify a criteria field to be a dynamic field. This means that the user can select the criteria value when they run the report. The problem was that when the report was created and a default was specified, that value may not be the default value when the user runs the report.
For example, if Workstation is Deleted = No is set as the default and is dynamic when the custom report is created, then the user runs the report the value of Workstation is Deleted is set to Yes as the default.

Resolution

Fixed in ZAM 7.5 IR 5.

The Interim releases can also be set up within the ZAM Manager for the Task server to check the site on a scheduled basis, and download and apply them automatically. Please refer to the Help Section for details of how to set up automatic downloads if desired.

Each interim release is cumulative. If Interim Release 5 is not available due to a newer interim release being placed on the website, be assured that the code needed is in the later release.
