The summarized data used by the Open Systems Data DeskTop Reporter are created using programs and scripts from the IT Service Vision Showroom. The Showroom provides examples of exploiting the facilities of IT Service Vision to organize and report on information technology data sources using a variety of data presentation techniques.

These techniques include using interactive "drill-down" reports in the DeskTop Reporter as well as html-based reports that are built automatically from your data. The Showroom appears on the same CD as the DeskTop Reporter. To browse the contents of the Showroom, point a frame-capable browser (such as Netscape 2.0 or Microsoft's Internet Explorer 3.0) to the welcome.htm file in the SHOWROOM directory on the CD and follow the instructions there for the DeskTop Reporter.
