Your organization would like to automatically receive weekly device Inventory reports. Which reporting technique would satisfy the requirement?

Question

Options

• Adevice inventory list subscription
• Bdevice inventory report subscription
• Cdevice inventory list export
• Ddevice inventory report export

• A
  6% (2)
• B
  6% (2)
• C
  75% (24)
• D
  13% (4)

Explanation

Option C is correct because a device inventory list export delivers the complete, raw inventory dataset and can be scheduled to run automatically on a recurring basis (e.g., weekly), satisfying the "automatic" requirement. A "list" provides the full, unfiltered device data rather than a summarized view, making it ideal for inventory purposes.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (list subscription) - "Subscription" in most platforms refers to opting into alert/notification feeds, not generating a scheduled data file; it doesn't produce a deliverable inventory artifact.
• B (report subscription) - Same subscription problem as A; additionally, "report" implies a pre-formatted, summarized output-not a raw inventory list suitable for downstream processing.
• D (report export) - An export could be scheduled, but a "report" is a formatted summary, not a complete device list. It may exclude raw fields needed for a full inventory.

Memory tip: Think Export = Extract (gets you the actual data file on a schedule), while Subscription = Signup for notifications. For inventory, you want the full list, not a summarized report.
