Widget alert if computers does not have programs

[ifm]

I am managing some student computer rooms and from time to time it happens that single computers differs from the rest. I would like a report where I can add multiple softwares that should be installed on all computers with name beginning with XXXXXX (followed by tree digits). The report should alert me if a computer does not have the specified software. Also it should be a widget on the dashboard and possible to use in email notifications.

Is this possible or is this a larger feature request?

Thanks in advance!

A sample report that lists computers missing a specific software package can be found here. For the computer name requirement, you will need to add the following to the Criteria column for the tblAssets.AssetName expression:

Like 'XXXXXX%'

Instructions for running reports can be found here. If you are interested in building or modifying reports, we would recommend:

• Reviewing some SQL tutorials, as the Lansweeper report builder uses standard SQL queries. This seems like a good tutorial.
  
• Updating to Lansweeper 5.2, if you haven't already. Lansweeper 5.2 includes a database dictionary, which is linked at the top of the report builder.

Instructions for setting up a report alert can be found here. To add the report to your dashboard, you can use the Data Report widget, which can display any report found under Reports\View All Reports.
