 +There are several ways to export the current status of Inventory from TapeTrack using: 
 +  * [[#tapemaster-inventory-reports|TapeMaster]] 
 +  * [[#lite-inventory-reports|Lite]] 
 +  * [[#command-line-inventory-reports|Command Line programs]] 
 + 
 +Which method suits your requirement depends on the information required in the report, as well as frequency the reports are required. 
 + 
 +[[desktop:master|TapeTrack TapeMaster]] and [[desktop:lite|TapeTrack Lite]] allow dynamic creation of Inventory reports that have variable output or on demand requirements.   
 + 
 +Inventory reports that are required on a regular basis can be created using [[cli:TMSS10Inventory|TMSS10Inventory ]]   that can then be saved to file, emailed and/or [[cli:tmss10uploadfile|uploaded to the TapeTrack Server]] allowing clients to download ([[master:upload_files#right-click-functions|TapeMaster]], [[desktop:lite|TapeTrack Lite]] or [[cli:tmss10downloadfile|TMSS10DownloadFile]]) without the need to create the reports themselves.
