TOPIC

I am using Network Assistant to create a System Information report for the Macintosh computers on my network. I have a maximum of 630 pixels that can be used for the report. How can I efficiently predetermine the items I want to select for a report and stay within the 630 pixel maximum?

DISCUSSION

The maximum width of the System Information report is determined by the resolution of your monitor. When the screen resolution is 640 X 480 the maximum width of the report is 630 pixels. If the screen resolution is set to 1024 X 768 the maximum width of the report is 1,014 pixels.

The workstation is always the first field in the report. When you generate a new report, this field along with the report window require 167 pixels. When the monitor resolution is set to 640 x 480, you have 463 Pixels for the remaining fields.

Since you are not going to be able to get all the fields into one report, a good strategy would be to generate reports with like fields. Multiple reports can be left open for on screen viewing.

You can also print or export the report to a text file. If you want to know more about printing or exporting a report please refer to Part 3 in the Apple Network Administrator Toolkit manual page 55 "Printing and Exporting to a text file ".

The table below shows the number of pixels each field uses:
