Device Control reporting wastes paper?

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?

Hello Fairport,

the CSV exported from the Event Viewer (Events in the menu bar -> Device Control Events ...) does have (or should have) the user in the second column- Looks like this:

"Date/time","User","Computer","Model","Type","Status","Device ID"
"10/20/2014 7:36:17 AM","","macadmin","Apple Wireless Network Adapter (802.11 a/b/g/n)","Wireless","Unknown action","INS:0-AIRPORT-EC35863A 44B6"
"11/26/2014 11:03:04 AM","Administrator’’’’s MacBook Pro\oldman","someMac","Apple Wireless Network Adapter (802.11 a/b/g/n)","Wireless","Unknown action","INS:0-AIRPORT-68A86D41 8C4C"

Note that there is (like in the first data line) not always an associated user.
