The Data analysis tool analyses data on-the-fly in order to present a number of small and comprehensible reports that can help one getting the overview.

For instance, Data analysis can be used to finding devices without the latest service pack or devices that are out of warranty.

Report options

This menu is enabled if the chosen report can be customized. For instance the Operating systems report can be grouped with or without service packs.

Below is shown the result from some of these small reports:
