Device Control reporting wastes paper?

Fairport

We are evaluating the use of Device Control for the first time and have activated a 'report only' policy so that we can assess what devices are in use on our network.

Today I thought I'd print out a report on paper for review purposes.

What could easily have been a nine page report has ended up requiring eighteen pages - primarily because the report title, description and summary which amounts to half a page is repeated on every single page!

Is this normal?

    Output to Excel certainly yields less wasteful results :smileyhappy:

    Still don't see the point of repeating redundant information on every page if the output is in paper form though.

    Now all I need are reports that actually yield the basic data I actually need.

    Alert and Event History, filtered to include just Device Control events, sorted by Computer name gets me almost what I need - but doesn't seem to include the logged-in user at the time the event occured - even though I know that data is in there :smileysad:

    So now I have to work back through that report and pencil the user names in - unless there's a trick I've missed?
