The report action displays a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager report in the Configuration Manager console.
The following attributes and elements are specific to an action that opens a report box:
- The ActionDescription element
Class attribute is set to Report.
- The ReportDescription element
ReportName attribute is the GUID of the report to be
displayed. The GUID maps to the SMS_Report class
ReportGUID property.

| An alternative method to load a report is to use the executable action to launch the report's URL. This will display the report in a new window rather than in the Configuration Manager console. |
