Pre-Defined Reports
Pre-defined reports provide an overarching knowledge of your network's patch and vulnerability management process. This report can be generated based on multiple parameters, which includes: patch reports, system reports, Self Service Portal (SSP) reports, and Automate Patch Deployment (APD) reports. These reports can be accessed directly through the web console.

- Remote Office Compliance Graph: This report will list down the compliant status of all the systems in the remote offices managed by the enterprise.
Automate Patch Deployment (APD) Reports
- Systems with APD tasks: This report provides information on all the managed systems which have active Automatic Patch Deployment (APD) tasks.
- Systems without APD tasks: This report provides information on all the managed systems which do not have any Automatic Patch Deployment (APD) tasks.
