# Device Reports

Last updated: August 13, 2026

This page covers the Device Reports feature in ManageEngine MDM, enabling IT administrators to generate, customize, and export a wide range of pre-defined reports across categories such as app, hardware, enrollment, location, security, and telecom expense. Users can retrieve reports directly from the Reports tab, tailor columns using the Column Chooser, schedule periodic delivery, and export results in PDF, CSV, or XLS format to meet varying organizational asset tracking and compliance needs.

Organizations with a predominantly mobile-only workforce require frequent collection of asset data and also have them collated into a readable form. MDM lets you generate a wide range of reports on the go, including overall device reports to granular reports based on specific requirements. Additionally, you can also choose to create your own reports and have the report generation scheduled as well. The other advantage with these reports, is that you can choose to export them to a wide variety of formats such as PDF, TXT etc., Further, you can have the reports delivered to inbox as well.
