Setting up data views for external reports

Infrastructure Management provides the ability to create customized reports to suit your specific needs by exporting data from the database. To prevent the mundane task of keeping up with ongoing schema changes and prevent possible database entry corruption, you can leverage the Database Views feature (also called dataviews) provided by the relational database system.
