# Configure a report entry in Remote Desktop Manager

Configure a Report entry in Remote Desktop Manager to generate customized HTML reports from connection lists or custom field data.

The ***Report entry*** generates a customized report with the appropriated properties and, if needed, specific criteria for selecting the entries to be included in the report.

1. To fetch the property's names of your entries, go to Remote Desktop Manager.
2. Select your entries and click ***Home*** – ***Clipboard*** – ***Copy*** in the ribbon. Alternatively, you can right-click your entry selection and select ***Clipboard*** – ***Copy***.
3. In the ***Copy Options*** window, go to the ***Preview tab***.
4. Select all the content of the box, then copy and paste it in a text editor.
5. In Remote Desktop Manager go to ***New Entry*** – ***Macro/Script/Tool*** – ***Report***.
6. Click ***OK***.
7. Enter a ***Name*** and choose a ***Folder***.
8. In the ***General*** tab, select ***Connection List*** or ***Custom Field Report*** under ***Type***.

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p><em><strong>Connection List</strong></em> contains a list of predefined properties that cannot be modified.</p></div>
9. In ***Script Source***, select ***Power Shell*** or ***Linked Entry***.

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p><em><strong>Power Shell</strong></em> is embedded in the Report entry. <em><strong>Linked entry</strong></em> is linked to a PowerShell entry which contains the script to select the list of entries.</p></div>
10. Go to ***Fields*** and copy/paste the property's names previously saved.
11. Go to the ***Script tab*** and write your script. A sample is available at the bottom of the window.

    <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p>Note that this Script example only lists the RDP entries per this <code>if</code> statement: <code>if ($connection.ConnectionType -eq 'RDPConfigured')</code></p></div>

    The ***Parameters*** tab is for submitting values to be used with the $PARAMETER1$, $PARAMETER2$ variables and so on.
12. Click ***OK*** to save and close the window.
13. Select your newly created ***Report entry*** and click ***Execute***.

The report is available in HTML format. Three options are also displayed at the top of the report: ***Refresh***, ***Save as*** and ***Print***.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/knowledge-base/how-to-articles/configure-a-report-entry-in-remote-desktop-manager.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
