# Generating an Application Usage Report

The Application Usage report shows which applications have been running on a given client, their launch and quit time, and who launched them. The client stores 30 days of accumulated data, so the requested time can't be more than the last 30 days. The following fields are shown by default in the report:

- Computer name
- Name of application
- Launch date
- Total running time
- Time as frontmost application
- User name of process owner
- Current state of application

Application Usage report information is collected by default if you are installing Remote Desktop for the first time. If you have upgraded an older version of Remote Desktop, you need to enable its collection explicitly in the clients' reporting policy. See Setting the Client's Data Reporting Policy for instructions.

1. Select a computer list in the Remote Desktop window.
2. Select one or more computers in the selected computer list.
3. Choose Report > Application Usage.
4. Select the time frame for application usage.
5. Click Generate Report.

   The newly generated report window appears.
