#### Using Table Views for Database Reporting in Alemba Service Manager (ASM)

Alemba Service Manager (ASM) offers the flexibility to generate reports by leveraging table views created ad-hoc. This process involves exporting search results as a view, which can then be utilized for reporting purposes.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Calculated fields such as Indicator Column and access to Custom Extension Fields require joining this View at the database level.
{% endhint %}

Creating SQL views directly against the database can significantly enhance the reporting capabilities within ASM for various entities like calls, requests, and tasks, providing a comprehensive data analysis tool.

## **To Enable this capability**&#x20;

1. Your Security role (IPK, Workflow, etc) must have Export Search View
2. You must contact [Alemba Support](https://www.alemba.help) to configure the database accounts and Schemas to support this feature.
