Hello,

I am trying to find a report that includes the device location path (group folder).  I cannot find a report option that includes this.

You can consider creating some kind of custom report with the path parameter in the device list view as follows:

1. Use view all devices option and/or search filter expression to select devices to be included in the report.

2. Customize columns to include only the attributes (e.g. device name, path, in your case, and possibly others such as OS version, agent version, etc.) of interest in the report.

3. Click on the CSV export option to select the path and filename of the CSV file to be exported.

The only drawback of this approach is that the number of devices per page in the device list view is limited to a maximum of 250.  Thus, if there are more than 250 devices to be included in the report, multiple CSV exports of each page need to be performed, followed by subsequent merging of these CSV files into a single one.

This solution would mean to do it also manually each time from the console but would work if really a one time or only "sometime" report needs to be made.

If you want this to be generated automatically in a schedule and maybe also send via mail, you need to create a custom report in the reports section of Mobicontrol via an external tool. But you also need to have knowledge (and/or access to) the DB to be able to build it correctly.
We already placed a feature request that this should be possible inside Mobicontrol without Database knowledge and without using an external tool as this comes up at our side and also other customers here from time to time.
