Patch Approvals and Installations report

The Patch Approvals and Installations report provides a summary of patch counts based on installation status and approval status. You can refine the report criteria by patch classification, installation status, or KB article number.

The report highlights changes to a device’s patch status, including updates to approval settings or new approvals—even if the patch is already installed.

The report includes data from the specified start date through the date the report is generated.

Patches with the following statuses are excluded if they were issued before the start date selected in the report:

  • Approved, Installed
  • Declined, Not Installed
  • Approved for Removal, Not Installed

This procedure can only be performed at the Service Organization level or Customer level.
