Tips for using the Endpoint Compliance data
-
The unique key to a device is an internal Device Id, which is found only in the Fact Device folder. Always include this column on your analysis so that each row is unique by device.
-
If the analysis you create includes feeds from multiple days, include a selection for Reporting Date from the Fact Device folder (usually today's date).
