Monthly reporting

macraft · April 10, 2015 - 09:34

Hello,

We use WAPT on our 200-machine infrastructure. We created a script that automatically converts any executable or script to WAPT and imports it into the console. We then developed a website that serves as a public repository, listing all the packages and making them accessible to users based on their security group. Furthermore, clicking the link installs them instantly, which is very convenient for Office. In this respect, WAPT fulfills its role well, especially in terms of deployment, and we have managed to optimize it.

I would like to highlight a significant lack of reporting in WAPT. For the past few days, I have been trying to generate a monthly inventory report, both for software and hardware. If you could shed some light on this, how to obtain this report, how to optimize it, email reporting, etc.,

I would appreciate it. Another point to address is the filtering. We can filter each item on a PC, but we cannot display machines that do not have the keyword in their inventory. For example, we want to display all PCs that don't have Norton.

And lastly, can we create a category of our choice within the inventory?
For instance, we want to create a tag for a group of PCs that can be found in the inventory tabs. PCs with Norton would have the tag "NORTON," and we could either sort them or find them in a specific tab.

Thank you in advance for your answers; my real question today concerns reporting.

Ben.

We are delighted to learn that you are able to use WAPT effectively on your 200 workstations (could you please complete the survey so I can add you to the WAPT user map?). You can share your WAPT improvements via the forum. The community will thank you

.

Several add-on modules (reporting, license manager, Windows update management, remote workstation control) are currently under development and will be added to the WAPT console. These modules will be subject to a commercial license. The reporting module will filter all the data collected by WAPT and provide customized reports on the status of your network.

Currently, you can also create your own interfaces by querying the WAPT server's MongoDB database; there are no restrictions, and all data is stored there.

To more easily filter workstations with Norton installed, you can create a group with no software dependencies and then assign them to it. In the next version of WAPT (1.2), we have made it easier to view groups from the console.
