Using Macintosh Manager Reports

Macintosh Manager provides a number of different reports to help you keep track of user
and network activity.

To view a report:

1

Open Macintosh Manager.

2

Choose the report you want from the Reports menu.

You can view the selected report immediately, and then export it to a file or print it if
you wish.

You can set additional criteria for the Activity Log report and the Computers report before
you see the results.

Setting the Number of Items in a Report

You can set the maximum number of log entries to show for Macintosh Manager reports.

Note: The Connected Users report will show only up to 300 log entries, even if the
maximum number of log entries you set is greater than 300.

To set how many log entries are tracked:

1

In Macintosh Manager, click Global, and then click Security.

2

In the text box next to “Maximum number of log entries,” type a number.

To view a report, go to the Report menu and choose the report you want to see.

Keeping the Administration Program Secure

If an administrator forgets to quit the Macintosh Manager administration application, another
person could potentially make changes and save them. To prevent this kind of unauthorized
access, you can make the administration application quit after a specified time if there is no
user activity.

To allow the administration program to quit automatically:

1

In Macintosh Manager, click Global, and then click Security.

2

Select “Quit the administration program if idle for __ minutes” and enter the number of
minutes the application should wait before quitting automatically.

3

Click Save.

Warning

When the administration application quits automatically, unsaved changes

are lost.
