Inline reports

Inline reports provide the status of selected custom or external checklist in the form of chart and graphs which assess the available checks in the selected checklist.

Various status of a check

Inline report consists of Checks by category, Check deployment status, and Check compliance status chart and graphs. To generate these chart and graphs, inline report assesses all the checks and then categorise the checks in the following status:
Deployed
Taking a deployment action on a device. - Deployment on a device.
Success
Deployment on a device and the action is successfully completed (Fixed).
Failed
Deployment on a device and the action is unsuccessful (Failed).
Undeployed
Devices on which the deployment has not yet been performed. This does not include the failed checks.
These category helps in calculating the deployment percentage, undeployed device count, compliance percentage, and non-compliant devices count.
Figure 1. Inline reports


To understand how inline reports works, let us consider the following case:
Table 1. Assumptions for Inline reports calculation
Subscribed devices 12
Applicable devices 10(1)
Deployed devices 8(2)
Undeployed devices 2(3)
Success (Compliant) 5
Failed (Non-compliant) 3
Note:
  1. The two devices out of 12 subscribed devices are not applicable as they did not pass the relevance check.
  2. The deployment to the device must be explicitly done.
  3. The check is not deployed on these two devices.
Deployment percentage
The percentage of devices on which the check was deployed (Success or Failed) out of the total number of subscribed devices (12).

Deployment percentage = Number of devices on which check was success or failed divided by the total Number of Subscribed devices for that check

Number of devices on which check was successful or failed is obtained from grouped data, such as Actions, Action Results, Computers, and Computer sites.

Deployment percentage = 8/12

Undeployed Devices
The number of devices on which the deployment has not yet been performed. This data is obtained from the Computer Fixlets table for the check with isRelevant=1 and excluding the failed ones from result.
Compliance Percentage
The percentage of devices on which the check is compliant (success) or non-relevant out of the total number of subscribed devices (12).

When applicable devices is equal to zero and subscribed count is greater than zero, then the compliance percentage is 100% or else compliance percentage is equal to number of complaint devices (success) divided by the number of subscribed devices.

where,

Number of complaint devices = Subscribed devices - applicable computer count

Compliance percentage = 7/12
Non-compliant Devices
Number of non-compliant devices is equal to the value of applicable computer - count of that check.
