Reporting groups in patch management

Reporting groups classify devices according to their functions and organizations they belong to, making patch management easier. Using reporting groups in patch management ensures coverage across the entire network.

The box Update Management: Reporting groups shows the total number of devices that are part of the current organization, divided according to their operating system.

Reporting groups at risk

A reporting group is considered at risk if the Target assigned to it does not comply with an adequate patch policy.

In the image below, the first chart would show the reporting groups at risk due to missing patches (in the image, none); and the second chart details the total devices by reporting groups.
