## About the Create Variance Report Action

The **Create Variance Report** action creates a variance report for the Configuration Manager or Discovery Manager showing the changes that have been made since the last recorded baseline.

## Parameters

To access the parameters, select the **Action Block** to display them in the **Settings** pane.

### Action Block Settings

:::hint{type="info"}
Some parameter field names may differ slightly in the Classic Action Designer UI.
:::

- **Block Label**: A unique name for the block. This is useful to identify each action when you have more than one of the same action block added or cloned in the design area.
- Run Async: Generates the report asynchronously (after the event that caused the variance).

Click **Save** to commit your changes.

### Start Block Settings

These settings are accessed by selecting the **Start Block**, refer to [Start Block Settings](docId:2Wq6ihUN2zxiR21eA3M7g).

:::hint{type="info"}
This action does not respect the **Auto-save** checkbox option in the **Start Block** settings. It does save changes directly to the database, but please ensure that the behaviour you expect still occurs.
