Using Report Windows to Work With Computers
After you’ve created a report, you can use it to select computers and then do any of the
following:
• Add computers to ARD computer lists.
Drag any row from a report window to a computer list in the main Remote Desktop
window. This adds the computer in that row to the computer list.
• Create new computer lists.
Select computers in the report window and click the New List button.
• Generate other reports.
Select any number of rows in a report window; then choose another report from the
Report menu. The new report will be generated on the computers in the selected
rows.
• Initiate any management task.
Select any row in a report window; then choose a management task from the
Manage menu. This has the same effect as selecting the computers in an ARD
computer list.
Additionally, you can copy items to computers selected in the report window by
dragging items from the Finder to the selected computer or computers. See
“Installing by Using the Copy Items Command” on page 60 for more information.
• Interact with users.
Select any row in a report window; then choose a task from the Interact menu. This
has the same effect as selecting the computers in a computer list.
• Delete an item from a computer.
Select an item in any software report window and click the Delete button.
