Creating Reports
Apple Remote Desktop allows you to query client computers for many kinds of
information, from installed software to network speed and reliability. Creating reports
gives you valuable information about the client computers. Reports also serve as
valuable shortcuts when you’re copying files and organizing computer lists.
Understanding Saved and New Report Data
There are two sources of data about the client computers that ARD uses when
searching for report information: saved and new.
With a new data search, the Remote Desktop application queries a client directly, and
waits for the client computer to respond with the desired information. A new data
search gets the most recent information, but takes longer since the client computer
has to gather all the data and send it over the network to the waiting administrator
computer.
