System Activities Report

Overview

The System Activities report displays a summary of all commands and actions that have been performed on each agent enabled computer, as well as other pertinent agent details such as uptime, the date the agent was added to LabTech, etc.

This report can be run for all clients or by client, location, computer type, computer or group. Additional filters are available to run the report based on specific criteria.

The purpose of this document is to show you how to use the report specific filters and how to understand the data provided by the report. A sample page of the report is included at the end of this document with each section explained separately.

NOTE: If you are running the report and you do not have full access to all clients (clients, computers and locations) the report will only show information for what you have permission to access.

System Activities Report Filter Options

Filters allow you to run reports based on specific criteria. The filters are separated into two sections. On the left, there are the basic filters to limit the report by client, location, computer type, computer or group. On the right, there are report specific filters that will further narrow your report results (e.g., contact, domain, etc.). Refer to the following table for information on how to use these filters.

Table 1: System Activities Report Filter Descriptions

Filter	Description
Last Contact Date	Filters results based on the last date the agent machine contacted the LabTech server. To filter on last contact date, select the checkbox to the left of the field and enter the 'From' and 'To' dates.
Contact	Filters based on the name of the contact for the agent machine (e.g. John Smith (City, State)). Commas are not recognized in the filters, you must use wildcards. The contact can be set on the Welcome tab of the *Computer Management* screen. Enter a contact's name and select a comparison from the drop-down to return results. The available options are: Like, Equals, In, Not Like, Not Equal and Not In. Wildcards ('?' for a single character or '*' for multiple characters) can also be used in this field.
Domain	Filters based on the domain of the agent machine (e.g. WORKGROUP). Enter a domain name and select a comparison from the drop-down to return results. The available options are: Like, Equals, In, Not Like, Not Equal and Not In. Wildcards ('?' for a single character or '*' for multiple characters) can also be used in this field.
OS	Filters based on the operating system of the agent machine (e.g. Windows 7 Enterprise). Enter operating system name and select a comparison from the drop-down to return results. The available options are: Like, Equals, In, Not Like, Not Equal and Not In. Wildcards ('?' for a single character or '*' for multiple characters) can also be used in this field.
Asset Tag	Filters based on the asset tag of the agent machine, which is set up on the *Computer Management* screen. Enter the asset tag and select a comparison from the drop-down to return results. The available options are: Like, Equals, In, Not Like, Not Equal and Not In. Wildcards ('?' for a single character or '*' for multiple characters) can also be used in this field.
Date Added to	Filters results based on the date that the agent machine was added to LabTech. To filter on date added to LabTech, select the checkbox to the left of the field and enter the 'From' and 'To' dates.
Asset Date	Filters results based on the asset date that is set on the *Computer Management* screen. The asset date defaults to the date that the asset was added to LabTech; however, this date can be manually altered. To filter on the asset date, select the checkbox to the left of the field and enter the 'From' and 'To' dates.

TIP: For a multiple select search, click on the MultiSelectSearchIcon.SystemActivities

icon (if available) and then click on the Find button to list the available options. Select the desired option and use the arrow buttons to slide the option to the right, indicating you want to filter the data based on this selection. Click OK when done. If a multiple select search icon is not available, you can also create a multiple select search by using the following pattern: 'First Search','Second Search', etc. Each search must be enclosed in a single quote separated by a comma (no spaces).

TIP: Wildcards can be used for several of the filters. Use '?' for a single character wildcard. Use '*' for multiple wildcards.
