## Hardware inventory reports

You can find pre-defined hardware inventory reports in Reports > Hardware inventory. You can create custom hardware inventory reports. When creating a New Report Template, under Data select a sub-category from one of the HW inventory filters. When you add the first table column or X-axis, only compatible data will be eligible for selection.

## Dynamic Groups based on hardware inventory

You can create custom dynamic groups based on the hardware inventory details of connected devices. When creating a New Dynamic Group Template, select rule(s) from hardware inventory categories to filter connected devices based on their hardware parameters.

You can select from the following hardware inventory categories: Chassis, Device information, Display, Display adapter, Input device, Mass storage, Network adapter, Printer, Processor, RAM and Sound device. For example, you can create a dynamic group with devices filtered by their RAM capacity to get an overview of devices with a certain amount of RAM.
