Application statistics by name will show you detailed application names. Using this, you can know the exact application names that your employees used and how much time they spent on it. Below is an example of top 10 applications.
Please note that this mode actually records application process names.
This mode is similar to Name mode. However, what it records is application description which may be different from application process name. For example, if two users are using QQ 2010 and QQ 2011, Application Statistics by Details will treat them as different applications while Application Statistics by Name will treat them as same application because the processes name are QQ.exe.
Using this mode, IT manager can easily find out the percentage of a certain computer or a group which uses the applications in a specific application class. Application Classes should be selected at first.
If you have sorted your applications into classes, you will see something like the picture below.
After Application classes are selected, click OK to apply. Then click Search button again to generate your desired application statistics.
