Report types

Four main report types are available. Each type displays a different, configurable view of the current and historical status of a patch deployment. You can grant permissions to the user roles to access the patch reports, but the data that each user can see depends on the computer to which they have been granted visibility.

You can generate the following category of the reports using the BigFix Patch Reporting application:

  • Overview Report
  • Patches Report
  • Computers Report
  • Computer Groups Report


For a graphical representation of each report type, see Example reports - Patch reports in the Appendix.
