As a Satellite user, it should not be expected to learn/know ERB syntax to create a custom report or kickstart file. WebUI should provide functionality to graphically select available global methods and classes with values. Creating a template should share usability with that of Jobs and Create Host. A builder should be implemented with options defined by the scope of the targets selected to build a report.
Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please do not reopen. Instead, feel free to contact Red Hat Technical Support. Thank you.
