You can use System Center Service Manager Authoring Tool reports to collect and view data and trends from across your business environment. For example, you can generate a report that shows the number of incidents that occur in a specific time frame. And, you can use that information to calculate the cost of each incident (in hours), to identify any trends, and to take preventative measures to reduce the cost and occurrence of incidents.
All Service Manager console users can view reports in Reporting. If users can view work items, they can also view reports in work item task lists. Any user can export report data from a report they view. Exported reports are saved in a variety of file formats.
