CASE STUDY 06 / AUTOMATION & DATA PRESENTATION

Turning Intune information into reports departments could use.

Extracting information from Intune, presenting it through HTML templates and adding email functionality for departmental distribution.

01 / THE CHALLENGE

Understanding the problem.

Information held in Intune needed to be extracted and presented for review by the relevant departments. The work covered both retrieving that information and making it available in a useful report format.

  1. 01Intune information
  2. 02HTML report templates
  3. 03Departmental email delivery

02 / MY INVESTIGATION

Following the evidence.

I approached the reporting requirement as a complete flow: extract the information from Intune, build an HTML representation of the data and provide a way to distribute it to the departments that needed it.

The HTML templates handled the presentation layer, turning the extracted information into a report that could be reviewed outside the Intune interface. Email functionality extended that workflow to the intended departmental recipients.

03 / IMPLEMENTATION

Putting the work into practice.

  1. 01

    Developed scripts to extract information from Intune.

  2. 02

    Built HTML templates to visualise and present the extracted data.

  3. 03

    Added functionality to email the generated HTML report to the required departments.

04 / OUTCOME & EVIDENCE

What the work delivered.

Implemented Intune data extraction, HTML report generation and email-distribution functionality for departmental reporting.

Data extraction

Scripts retrieving information from Intune for reporting.

HTML presentation

Templates presenting the extracted information in a visual report format.

Distribution capability

Email functionality for sending the generated report to the relevant departments.

05 / ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE

What I take forward.

Reporting automation becomes useful when information reaches the people who need to act on it. Extraction, presentation and distribution each contribute to that result.
