Example
In the ACME Zappl environment, we’ve determined from the dashboard view that while eligible device compliance is 100%, total device compliance is only 88%. A closer look at the devices list reveals this is due toSophia's MacBook
having a remarkably low compliance score of just 7%.
Upon examining the device record, we see that this device hasn’t affected the eligible compliance because it’s considered non-eligible due to the user deferring pending updates when prompted.

Prompts Allowed
or Background Updates
showing as disabled, or the Last Check-in
timestamp being older than 14 days ago would also cause the device to become non-eligible.For additional app-based context related to the example scenario above, please refer to the Applications section below.
Applications
Below the device information header, you’ll find a tab that lets you switch between the device-specific Applications and Logs views. The Applications view is selected by default.

Name
, Latest Version
, Date Released
and Compliance
columns.
In the following example, we examine the scenario above more closely to understand why Sophia's MacBook
has such low compliance. The image reveals that Sophia has 15 apps installed, with only VLC player running the latest available version — making it the sole compliant application.


If Updates Allowed is set to false for a given application, it renders that app ineligible for both device-based and app-based compliance calculations. To enable updates for the app, see Allowed Installs and Excluded Installs.
Logs
The Logs view displays error or warning messages generated by the Zappl agent within the last 30 days. This feature is invaluable for troubleshooting app update or install issues, as it provides quick access to relevant errors and warnings without the need to sift through the full Zappl logs.


All logs are purged from the portal after 30 days. To view older logs, refer to Logs and Errors.
