    You can get a report for All Software on All Assets (but beware this can be a HUGE report if the number of assets is large, it is not generally recommended) BUT the report is one software title per line, not laid out as in your example. There is a built in report to do this already but as already noted it recommends you use it only for a subset of computers not all computers. It also includes a few other fields. You can take this report and modify it to more closely match your needs but it will still be one software title per line so each computer will have many lines in the finished report.

     

    You could take this report, export it as a CSV and write a script to parse it and write a report in any format you want.

    Hi Rajeshcbi,

     

     

    You could create this report by adding these fields :

    Signature Scan [All]> Title

    Signature Scan [All]> Detected version

    Untitled.jpg

     

    As Steve has indicated, this will generate one line for every Software on computers. So the report could be very big and take long time to be generated if there are a lot of machines in the database.
