Combining views in Patches dashboard?Solved

Hi, I’m trying to get a consolidated view in the Patches dashboard where I can see device counts both device-wise (like laptops and mobiles by OS) and group-wise (for example, different branch companies) all in one place. 

Right now, I’m unable to find a way to combine these views. Ideally, I want something that shows how many devices are present per OS and also how they are distributed across different groups, directly within the Patches tab. Is this possible?

Hi @arthur, 

Currently, the Patches dashboard is designed specifically for managing patching on supported platforms, which are Windows and macOS devices. As a result: 

  • Device counts for platforms like iOS and Android are not available within the Patches tab. 

  • Group-wise device count breakdowns are also not supported in this view. 

  • While you can apply platform-based filters, combining device type, OS, and group-level insights in a single dashboard view is not supported at the moment. 

Alternative approach: 

You can achieve a more customized view by navigating to: Reports > Custom Reports 

Here, you can: 

  • Apply filters based on device platform (Windows/macOS) 

  • Segment devices by groups (such as branch offices or departments) 

  • Generate reports that closely match your requirement for both device-wise and group-wise visibility 

This approach provides more flexibility compared to the Patches dashboard. 

Please give this a try and let us know how it works for your use case—we’ll be happy to assist further if needed.
