The maximum width of the System Information report is determined by the resolution of your monitor. When the screen resolution is 640 X 480 the maximum width of the report is 630 pixels. If the screen resolution is set to 1024 X 768 the maximum width of the report is 1,014 pixels.
The workstation is always the first field in the report. When you generate a new report, this field along with the report window require 167 pixels. When the monitor resolution is set to 640 x 480, you have 463 Pixels for the remaining fields.
Since you are not going to be able to get all the fields into one report, a good strategy would be to generate reports with like fields. Multiple reports can be left open for on screen viewing.
You can also print or export the report to a text file. If you want to know more about printing or exporting a report please refer to Part 3 in the Apple Network Administrator Toolkit manual page 55 "Printing and Exporting to a text file".
