"Updates" Page of the Patch My PC Advanced/Patch Insights for Intune Dashboard
Applies to: Advanced Insights for Intune
Software Update compliance reporting is a major feature of Advanced Insights for Intune. The Patch My PC (PMPC) Client performs a compliance scan against the full PMPC Catalog and the Microsoft Updates service each day and returns the result to your PMPC Company.
Compliance data is shown for all updates, whether deployed or not.
The Updates page consists of the following two tabs, which contain a collection of dashboard items:
Patch My PC
The Patch My PC tab is split into the following sections:
Statistics
The top section of the Patch My PC tab is called Statistics and displays information about the PMPC Client and apps within your environment.
When you click a statistic, the device list modal for that statistic opens, displaying more information.
The Statistics section is split into the following reports:
Patch My PC Catalog
The Patch My PC Catalog statistic shows the latest version number of our catalog and the number of devices that have scanned this catalog.
Our catalog is updated daily (sometimes multiple times), so it is not unusual to see a low count after a catalog release.

Clicking a catalog version displays more detailed information for each Client running this version.
