Showing non-relevant results

By default the Web Reports mark as <not reported> a property that is not relevant or that is no longer relevant.

The console, instead, always shows the property with its latest retrieved results. If you want that the Web Reports show the same type of information as the console, configure them as follows:

BigFix Server with Windows OS

In the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node registry section under HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\BigFix\Enterprise Server\BESReports, create the ShowNotRelevantResults registry key.
Set the ShowNotRelevantResults value to 1.
Restart the Web Reports service after modifying the registry.

BigFix Server with Linux OS

In the beswebreports.config file, under the section named [Software\BigFix\Enterprise Server\BESReports], insert the ShowNotRelevantResults keyword.
Set the ShowNotRelevantResults value to 1.
Restart the Web Reports service after modifying the configuration file.
