Updates in Desktop Analytics

  • Article

In the Desktop Analytics portal, view the status of feature updates. Select these nodes in the Monitor group of the Desktop Analytics main menu. These nodes give you insights into the status of these updates in your environment.

Important

Desktop Analytics displays the feature update status for devices with the commercial ID associated with your Desktop Analytics workspace. This behavior happens whether or not you enrolled the devices with Configuration Manager. The number of total devices on these tiles may not match the number of enrolled devices in Connected Services.
