The following is an overview of the above reports and how you can use them:

Summary Reports

Use summary reports to gain an overview of managed information. Check the current status and future plans to schedule future task plans.

Daily Summary: Daily summaries let you check daily information, such as the status of events, the number of assets you plan to change the status of, the status of software licenses, and the status of distribution jobs. The current free database capacity is also displayed. Use these reports to check the current status and future plans, and to help you schedule daily tasks.
Weekly Summary: Weekly summaries let you check weekly information, such as the status of events, the number of assets you plan to change the status of, the status of software licenses, and the status of distribution jobs. For the status of events, transitions in the number of events through a week are displayed. Use these reports to check the current status and future plans, and to help you schedule weekly tasks.
Monthly Summary: Monthly summaries let you check monthly information, such as the status of events, the number of assets you plan to change the status of, the status of software licenses, and the status of distribution jobs. For the status of events, transitions in the number of events through a month are displayed. The results and plans related to the costs for assets are also displayed. Use these reports to check the current status and future plans, and to help you schedule monthly tasks.

Security Diagnosis Reports

Use security diagnosis reports to check the total security assessment level and category assessment levels.

Current Diagnosis

Displays the results of the total assessment of the current security status of computers. Use these reports to check the security status of all managed computers and to consider countermeasures for the items with low security status.

Timeframe Diagnosis

Displays the results of the total assessment of the computers' security status for a specified period. Use these reports to check the transitions of the results of diagnosis and to understand security status trends.

Note: The number of devices displayed in the Comments column is the TOTAL number of problematic computers that were tallied during the indicated timeframe.

Security Detail Reports

Use security detail reports to check the details of security status.

Violation Level Status

Displays the status of violation levels and the security status of individual groups. Use these reports to check the violation levels of computers and to consider and strengthen security measures.

Windows Update Status

Displays the number of computers on which Windows updates set in the security policy have not been installed and the status of individual groups. Use these reports to target for updating all computers on which relevant Windows updates have not been installed.

Antivirus Software Status

Displays the number of computers to which antivirus software has not been applied and the status of individual groups. Use these reports to help check and update antivirus software.

Mandatory Software Status

Displays the number of computers on which the mandatory software programs set in the security policy have not been installed and the status of individual groups. Use these reports to target installation requests for mandatory software.

Unauthorized Software Status

Displays the number of computers on which the prohibited software programs set in the security policy have been installed and the status of individual groups. Use these reports to target uninstallation requests for prohibited software.

Security Settings Status

Displays the number of computers on which illegal accesses might occur, the number of computers that have problems related to user-defined security settings, and the status of individual groups. Use these reports to check which security measures are problematic and to help enforce appropriate security measures on individual computers.

Other Access Restrictions

Displays information about computers on which printing is restricted, startup of software is restricted, or use of devices is restricted. The computers are displayed in the order of highest to lowest number of restrictions. Use these reports to check for users who have many restrictions applied to them, and to give them advice.

User Activity

Displays the printing activity of computers. Also displays which computers have used USB devices. The computers are listed in the order of the number of uses. Use these reports to investigate the computers from which information might have been illegally moved by printing or by the use of USB devices.

In a multi-server configuration, when report the operation log to a higher-level system is enabled on the lower management relay server, the reports include operation logs and suspicious operations on computers under the lower management relay server.

Note: When you specify task allocation (the administration scope of departments), for departments that have devices necessary to be managed, the operation to assign administrators (users) is assumed. Calculated information of security reports is calculated for each device. Because departments are specified in task allocation (the administration scope of departments), the calculation of security reports is displayed for each department. The information displayed as security reports is limited to the departments that have information calculated for reports, and the information is not displayed if there is not the calculated information of security reports of departments.

Inventory Detail Reports

Use inventory detail reports to check the number of managed devices and the status of the power saving settings on individual computers.

In a multi-server configuration, the number of devices managed by the management relay server under the local server is included in the report.

Device Management Status: Displays the number of managed devices and the increase and decrease of the number of devices. Use these reports to understand the increase and decrease of devices for each OS or to check the details of the devices in a specific department.
Green IT (Power Saving Settings): Based on the status of the power saving settings on the managed computers, Green IT reports display the difference from the ideal energy consumption. Use these reports to reduce the power consumption of computers or to understand the status of the Green IT efforts.

Asset Detail Reports

Use asset detail reports to check the transitions of the number of managed hardware assets, the transitions of contract costs, and the status of software licenses.

Hardware Assets: Displays the transitions of the number of managed hardware assets for individual device types. Use these reports to understand trends in the transitions of the number of hardware assets through a year or to check the percentage of each hardware asset device type.
All Assets Cost: Displays the total costs of Hardware Assets Cost, Software License Cost, and Other Cost. Use the report to check the transitions of the operational costs.
Hardware Assets Cost: Displays the transitions of the costs for hardware assets through a year. Use these reports to understand the trends in the transitions of contract costs through a year or to judge whether contract costs are appropriate. Changes made to the past contract costs are immediately applied and displayed.^#
Software License Cost: Displays the transitions of the costs for software licenses through a year. Use these reports to understand the trends in the transitions of contract costs through a year or to judge whether contract costs are appropriate. Changes made to the past contract costs are immediately applied and displayed.^#
Other Cost: Displays the transitions of the costs for other than hardware assets and software licenses through a year. Use these reports to understand the trends in the transitions of contract costs through a year or to judge whether contract costs are appropriate. Changes made to the past contract costs are immediately applied and displayed.
Software (License Violation): Displays information about the software programs for which there are insufficient licenses in the order of the number of insufficient licenses. The software programs listed in these of reports might be violating licenses. Use these reports to check the usage statuses of software licenses and to consider countermeasures, such as purchasing additional licenses.
Software (Surplus License): Displays information about unused software licenses in the order of the number of excess licenses. Use these reports to confirm license requirements before purchasing software licenses.

#: You can also configure the report to always display the total costs as of the previous month even when changes are made to the past contract costs.
