Reporting on who doesn't need patches

(imported topic written by SY57_Jim_Montgomery)

Is it accurate to say that when a client is not relevant for a fixlet he does not send any data back to BES? (well, other than a check in)

In other words, is it true that the database contains NO data showing when computer is not relevant for a fixlet?

In different other words, there is only data stored in the database when someone reports, “yeah I’m relevant” or “Yep, I’m patched now thx”?, as far as keeping track of relevant fixlets goes.

What I’m getting at is that if I’m looking to show how many computers evaluated a certain fixlet, (compared to how many are relevant/have ever been relevant), then I take a guess based on how many computers are CURRENTLY subscribed to that site?

I know the total number shows up in the console for each fixlet, but I’m wondering where that total comes from.

I’m trying to embrace the “this is a current and up-to-date set of data for your organization as of now.”

Thanks,

–Jim
