Learning about workspace reports
WhatsUp Gold offers a collection of more than 100 configurable workspace reports for display in workspace views. These smaller reports show similar information to that found in the full reports. Because of their smaller size, multiple reports can be placed in a workspace view, making it possible to view multiple reports simultaneously.
Device and Home workspace reports
Like workspaces, workspace reports are also typed as either Device or Home:
- Device workspace reports are displayable in Device workspaces, such as the Device Status workspace.
- Home workspace reports are displayable in Home workspaces, such as the your default Home workspace.
Workspace report categories
Workspace reports are broken down into categories according to the type of information they display:
