I would like to expand on the data returned from the "Device overview" section. For example I have a Vmware server category which contains basic info but I would like to add warranty status. How could I achieve this?

You would need to create a custom report for this.

Does this answer imply to achieve modified Device Overview (lower left window of home page) information it needs to be a custom report? I can't see where those specific reports are listed in the Report Builder. Is there a way to modify the results (columns shown) of the Device Overview reports?

The Device Overview and the pages it links to are automatically generated. Changing the behavior of automatically generated items would require additional manual changes to your Lansweeper installation, which we do not support. Such changes may cause problems during upgrades.

So you cannot change the columns of the Device Overview; you can only recreate the overview through a custom report. Such a report is not built-in. If you are having trouble creating one yourself, please specify what you would like to include.

Thanks. I have created a custom report to achieve the columns needed. Just wondering if it was possible to modify the Device Overview. And clearly it's not, based on your explanation.

It is not currently possible. You will have more flexibility to modify/move overviews in Lansweeper version 5.0. We do not yet have a release date for this version.
