Tracking how your engineering team uses software is essential for managing resources efficiently. With LAMUM (License Asset Manager with Usage Monitoring), organizations gain clear visibility into usage patterns, license demand, and group behavior.
LAMUM makes reporting simple, whether you need quick user dashboards or automated recurring batch reports. Managers can create, customize, and view reports whenever needed, helping teams make informed decisions about engineering software usage and costs.
Creating User Dashboards
User Dashboards in LAMUM are designed for ease of use, allowing any manager or team lead to build and maintain their own dashboards without technical assistance.
How to Set Up a User Dashboard
There are certain checkout status or historical usage reports that you may want to view regularly, on-demand, with the most current data. LAMUM makes this easy with a few simple options:
-
Click on a Favorite report directly from your browser.
-
Access reports through hyperlinks embedded in SharePoint, Google Docs, Word, PDF, or a team Wiki.
-
Rename hyperlinks to use clear, user-friendly names for easier navigation.
This approach allows managers to quickly access real-time insights without having to recreate reports or depend on IT assistance.
Automating Insights with Batch Reports
Some reports are needed on a recurring basis, such as weekly, monthly, or quarterly summaries. This is where Batch Reports come in.
Batch Reports in LAMUM can be created, updated, or deleted with just a few clicks. They automatically generate at your chosen frequency and can be delivered directly to your email inbox or saved to a designated folder.
You can name these reports with clear, descriptive titles to make organization easier.
How to Create Batch Reports
Creating a batch report in LAMUM takes only a few steps:
-
Create the report you want to automate.
-
Click “Create Batch Report.”
-
Assign a user-friendly name to the report.
-
Choose your delivery method — email or folder.
You can modify the report name, schedule, or delivery settings at any time.
This flexibility ensures that managers always have access to the most relevant data without manual effort.
LAMUM’s Batch Report Generator
LAMUM’s built-in Batch Report Generator simplifies ongoing reporting. It saves time and ensures consistent visibility into license usage, denials, and activity trends.
With automated delivery, department heads, IT administrators, and finance leaders can receive consistent updates to support operational reviews and budget planning.
Group Usage Reporting
While individual and tool-based usage insights are valuable, analyzing Group usage provides an even clearer picture of organizational behavior. Group-level reporting is especially useful for chargeback models, where costs are allocated based on department or project usage.
Defining Groups in LAMUM
Groups can be structured in several ways, such as by:
-
Manager or department name
-
Project team
-
Site or location
-
Any other classification relevant to your organization
Creating and Managing Groups
LAMUM gives you flexibility to manage groups in multiple ways:
-
Interactively through the interface
-
Offline via Excel import
-
Automatically using Active Directory
Once your groups are defined, you can generate Group Usage Reports showing each group’s percentage of total license usage. These insights help streamline budgeting, improve accountability, and support accurate chargebacks.
