# Computer Usage Report

### Overview

The purpose of this report is to show the list of computers and the different users logging into that Computer, along with the Total Usage, Average Duration, Number of Logins, Unique Users, and their Login and Logout Timings.

You can see the Computer 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:

* Computer Name
* Total Usage
* Average Duration
* Number of Logins
* Unique Users

The **Secondary Grid** is a nested grid based on either Computer or User. The columns in the secondary grid include:

* Name (of Computer and User)
* Total Usage
* Login Time
* Logout Time

If selected by Computer, it shows the name of the Computer, followed by the different Users who have used that Computer based on their total usage and followed by their login and logout timings.
