Report Creation from the Reports Tab in Patch Management

You can generate exclusive reports for Windows, Linux, and Mac platforms based on a wide range of parameters or selections, such as the required QQL queries, timeframe or period, and patch installation status. Depending on these selections, you can get vital information like whether the patch installation is successful, which assets are part of how many jobs, and so on.
