# "Hardware" Page of the Patch My PC Advanced/Patch Insights for Intune Dashboard

*Applies to: Advanced Insights for Intune*

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

The **Hardware** page is only available in Advanced Insights for Intune, which requires an Enterprise Premium license.
{% endhint %}

Enhanced hardware inventory is another significant facet of Advanced Insights for Intune. The Patch My PC (PMPC) Client gathers inventory data across a range of inventory properties to improve visibility and management of your estate.

The *Hardware* page of Advanced Insights for Intune shows key statistics from your environment and is split into the following sections:

* [Tabs](#tabs)
* [Statistics](#statistics)
* [Charts](#charts)

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

See [About Advanced/Patch Insights for Intune Dashboards](/patch-my-pc-cloud/insights-intune/about-dashboards.md) and [Working with Advanced/Patch Insights for Intune Dashboards](/patch-my-pc-cloud/insights-intune/working-dashboards.md) for more information.

Also, only devices running the Patch My PC (PMPC) Client appear on this page. See [Manage the Patch My PC Client](/patch-my-pc-cloud/manage/settings/client.md) for details on deploying and managing the PMPC Client.

## Tabs

Use the *Tabs* control to switch between hardware data views. The **General** tab is selected by default.

<figure><img src="https://3773699522-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MX7dvS0r_4fc0AikgJS%2Fuploads%2FdctubkizOsYCVPcG9CB6%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=33562edd-67d7-4198-9f06-17090d48f8af" alt="&#x27;General&#x27; tab" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Each view can show a different combination of statistics, charts, and data tables. For example, the **Network** tab shows all three.

## Statistics

The top row of the Hardware page is called *Statistics* and displays the following statistics.

<table><thead><tr><th width="193.77783203125" valign="top">Statistic</th><th valign="top">Shows the number of…</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top">Clients deployed</td><td valign="top">PMPC Clients deployed in your PMPC Cloud Company.</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Total external displays</td><td valign="top">External monitors detected.</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Total batteries</td><td valign="top">Batteries detected.</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Total logical drives</td><td valign="top">Logical drives detected, highlighting the total capacity and usage of each drive.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Clicking any of these statistics opens the device list modal, which contains the following additional information:

<table><thead><tr><th width="193.77783203125" valign="top">Statistic</th><th valign="top">Shows information about the…</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top">Clients deployed</td><td valign="top"><p>Which devices our Client is deployed to, including:</p><p>Computer Name, User Name, Client Version, Manufacturer, and Model.</p></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Total external displays</td><td valign="top"><p>External monitors attached to your Clients, including:</p><p>Computer Name, User Name, Model, Serial Number, Manufacturer, Screen Size, Manufacturer Year, and Connection Type.</p></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Total batteries</td><td valign="top"><p>Batteries detected in your Clients, including:</p><p>Computer Name, User, Name, Battery Name, Serial number, Chemistry, Full charge capacity, Design capacity, Health as a percentage.</p></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Total logical disks</td><td valign="top"><p>Logical disks configured on your Clients, including:</p><p>Computer Name, User Name, Drive, Volume Name, Capacity in gigabytes, Free Space in gigabytes, and Usage as a percentage.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

When you click a segment, the device list modal only displays the data for that segment. Likewise, if you switch views and click a donut segment, the device list modal displays only the data for the selected view and segment.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-cloud/insights-intune/about-dashboards/hardware-page.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
