Is there an easy way to do this?

Short answer: no.

But here's what I do when I need an up-to-date inventory of my DAZ content (like, when I'm prepping for a new RRRR!):

Open Excel (or whatever spreadsheet program you prefer).

Go to the Product Library page, and drag the mouse to select everything on that page.  (Well, not the navigation buttons.)  Right-click 'Copy'.

Switch back to the spreadsheet. Select the first empty cell, and right-click 'Paste'.  Wait for the operation to complete.

Go back to your Content Library page, move to the next page, and repeat. (In my case, I have to do this 133 times!)

Switch back to the spreadsheet, select the last open cell, and right-click 'Paste'.

Repeat as necessary.

Yeah, it's tedious and time-consuming, but it's really the most reliable way of getting everything.

If you use DIM you can export the details to Excel or other database.

 

Click on the installed tab and select All items. Right click and choose "Export Selected to CSV"

You can then import that file into Excel or other database.

Or - fire up DIM (even if you don't use it) and let it populate the appropriate tab (available downloads if you don't use it, ready to install or installed if you do). Click on the box at 'Products' to select everything. Then right-click and select 'Export Selected to CSV' and check the items you want in the list. Click 'Accept' and tell it where to put the result. (If you don't use DIM you may want to start by clicking on the gear icon, top right, and then the Downloads tab and select the items you want to see)

My problem with that approach is that I run DAZ Studio on three different systems; one machine is the 'master', which has its own content library, the other two are more 'mobile'.  That is to say, their content is shared, using both a NAS, and an external hard disk when they're on the road.  (It's the 'master's' job to keep everything in sync.  Not an easy task!)  Add to that the fact that I also have several Poser runtimes and....  I prefer to use the DIM for installation only, and I also prefer to work offline; gotta watch my bandwidth usage!  (My internet access is cellular, and overage surcharges can be brutal!)  I can just see myself connecting through DIM some day, and having it inform me, "There are 2252 products yet to be downloaded...."  No way, Jose!  (I'm not completely convinced that this is how that scenario would actually play out, but I'm sufficiently leery of the possibility to avoid tempting fate!)

But I like to have an up-to-date content inventory on all of them (whether the actual data store is up-to-date or not is an entirely different issue!)  So, this struck me as an acceptable compromise.
