Is it possible to link a Custom Compare Value to a report or Excel file?

I have created some Custom Compare Values and reports in SLM to give me the data needed. Rather than manually running the report, and updating the numbers is it possible to automate this process?

Thanks

Hi Ross, basically the values can be filled automatically. To do this you can connect the custom compare values to a custom field (see screenshot) and fill it with any script and attach it to the "data update job". For further Support that can be implemented by professional Services from Snow to understand the procedure generally. If you are interested please refer to your local sales Person or Snow Consultant for further Information. /Hans-Jürgen

  Hi Thanks for the reply My understanding of this approach is that it only works if the application is installed on the device you are adding the custom field to. So if you wanted to change the requirement for an application from 1 per installation to 2 then you could add a custom feild, make that update to 2 (manually or via script) and link it to the custom compare value. I want to effectivelly have it linked to a report output so I can buld a report as an example count all users in a set of OU's and have that link to the Custom Compare Value for those OUs Regards
