Using Computer Groups
When you drill into a Computer Group, you will see that we split the Computers by UpgradeDecision. Note that for Computers with the status “Review in Progress” or “Won’t Upgrade” you have an option of drilling into the issues that cause computers to be in that category or show the list of the computers with that UpgradeDecision. For Computers that are “Ready to Upgrade, you can go directly to the list of Computers that are ready.
