Mobile Device Manager (MDM) Software Distribution Console lets administrators generate detailed reports about the software packages distributed to managed Windows Mobile devices.

You can create three types of reports for software packages:

  1. Status Summary: The Package or Device Status Summary report provides a detailed summary for each package or device and includes properties and approval status. When you generate this report, you will see all the packages or devices included in your report criteria in the navigation pane. When you select a package or device in the tree, you can view the property and approval status information for the selected package or device.

  2. Status Details: The Package Detailed Status report shows the status of all devices for each package. The Device Detailed Status report shows a summary of device status together with the status for each package.

  3. Tabular Status: The Package or Device Tabular Status report provides status for multiple packages or devices. When you generate this report, you can view a table that shows all packages or devices that you included in your report criteria.

You can print these reports, or export them to Microsoft Office Excel or Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format. On the Package Reportsor Devices Reportwindow, on the menu bar, choose Report View, and then select an option to switch the report view from Summary to Detailed or Tabular.
