How to Generate Reports
The following report types can be created by administrators in MED-V:
Status—Use the status report to review the current status of all active users and all MED-V workspaces of each user based on a defined period of time. This includes viewing computers that are currently connected to the server or, if they are not currently connected, the date and time they were last connected to the server, the status of each computer, and other relevant information.
Activity Log—Use this report to review events that originated from a specific host or user in a defined date range.
Error Log—Use this report to view errors that originated from a specific host or user in a defined date range.
The report results can be sorted by any column by clicking the appropriate column name.
The report results can be grouped by dragging a column header to the top of the report. Drag multiple column headers to group one column after another.
