Need a report with computer description and computer name

We are trying to run a report that shows both the computer description and the computer name.  We cannot fine one in inventory or report viewer.  The comptuer name is under general settings, does anyone know if this can be done?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Reports in general needs a bit of an overhual (so do alerts tbh) the biggest issue I have with reports is it doesn't have the actual computername. The information is readliy available in logmein why not in a report? The LogMeIn description is there but that isn't the computer name. In fact when you download an inventory report the column with the LogMeIn description is labeled as 'Hostname', that's just patently wrong. 

    Any way I was told to post this here so that they could see how much feedback this would get in order for it to be worth developers time to make this change.....so no change is gunna ever happen.....

     

    ...unlesss.....IF YOU SEE THIS GIVE IT KUDOS!!

  • I also got caught out by this one... no computer name in the inventory. You could use one-to-many to obtain any extra information you need that doesn't show in the inventory. Then copy any paste the full returned CSV export into an excel worksheet. 

     

    The output looks a mess, but I use excels index and match function to organize that data into a seperate worksheet.
