# Application Usage Report
### Overview
This report aims to show the list of all applications executed by different users across different computers based on the time duration.
The report has a primary
and a secondary
grid, which means the secondary grid would filter down the data based on the value selected in the main grid.
Users will be able to see the Application Usage either by Computers or Users by using the flip switch available on top of the secondary grid.
The **Primary Grid** includes the following information:
* Application Name
* File Name
* Total Usage
* Number of Computers
* Number of Users
* Number of Logins
The **Secondary Grid** is a nested grid based on either Computer or User. The columns in the secondary grid would include:
* Name (of Computer and User)
* Total Usage
* Number of Logins
* Last Used
**Selected by Computer** - Displays the name of the Computer, followed by the different Users who have used that Computer to run that particular executable (as selected in Primary grid).
**Selected by User** - displays the name of the User, followed by the different Computers where the user has run that particular executable (as selected in the Primary grid).
Below is an example Report for the Usage of Faronics Anti-Virus for February 3, 2021 - March 3, 2021.
