WMIX, EV Reach's WMI Explorer,  offers flexible reporting tools which can be used at any time. You can quickly generate a report on information currently being displayed or generate a pre-configured report for a machine or a set of machines. All reports are generated in HTML. However, an option to export to CSV is available from within the HTML report. Once the information is saved in CSV format, it can easily be imported into other applications such as Microsoft Excel® for further processing.
