Why each option
The Software Inventory client agent controls how frequently software inventory is collected on clients; changing its schedule to every seven days ensures reports reflect recently installed software.
The software update point synchronization schedule controls when WSUS metadata is synced from Microsoft Update and has no relation to how frequently software inventory data is collected from clients.
A custom web report can display existing inventory data but cannot change the frequency at which that data is gathered from client computers.
The Software Updates client agent governs the scan and installation schedule for patches and security updates, not the collection of software inventory data.
The Software Inventory client agent setting directly governs the inventory collection cycle on managed computers. Setting it to run every seven days ensures that software installed within the past week will be captured and included in the next inventory report, meeting the requirement for up-to-date data within a seven-day window.
