**TL;DR:** Open a Windows Device and go to Details to see the raw MDM data it reports, split into eight categories. Everything is read-only except Smart attributes.

The **Overview** tab of a Device gives you a curated summary — the things you check most often, presented for reading. The **Details** tab is the opposite: a direct window into the raw data Windows itself reports back over MDM, with no interpretation on top.

It's the tab you open when the summary isn't enough: when you need to confirm what was actually delivered to a Device, or why something isn't applying.

:::info
Most of what you'll see here maps directly to a named Windows **Configuration Service Provider (CSP)** — the standard building blocks Windows uses to report and configure settings over MDM. Where a category maps to one, this page links to Microsoft's own reference for it.

## Finding your way around

Open a Windows Device and go to its **Details** tab. A list of categories on the left filters what's shown on the right, and a search box at the top filters within the selected category. **Export CSV**, top right, downloads the data for whichever category you're currently looking at.

:::warning
**Everything here is read-only except Smart attributes.** The rest is telemetry reported by the Device — you're reading what Windows sent, not configuring anything.
:::

## Smart attributes

The one category that isn't telemetry. This is where you view and manage the Device's [Smart Attributes](https://docs.applivery.com/en/device-management/general-settings/smart-attributes/), scoped by Segment, with an **Include from parents** toggle and **\+ Add smart attribute** to create new ones.

## Device Info

Baseline identity data about the Device and its MDM session: `Dev Id` (its unique MDM identifier), `DmV` (the DM protocol version it speaks), `Lang`, and vendor and model information.

This is the [DevInfo CSP](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/devinfo-csp) — the very first thing a Device reports when it talks to an MDM server.

## Device

Settings and status that apply **machine-wide**. In Windows MDM terms this is the `./Device/Vendor/MSFT/...` side of the CSP tree. Among others, it includes:

-   **Enrollment and renewal health** — `Error Code`, `Last Renewal Attempt Time`, `Renew Period`, `Retry Interval`, the enrollment `Server URL` and `Status`, and the `ROOT` certificate hash confirming the trust chain to Applivery. From the [DMClient CSP](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/dmclient-csp), which every enrolled Device uses to manage its connection to the server.
    
-   **Disk encryption** — BitLocker status, Device Encryption Status and Removable Drives Encryption Status, from the [BitLocker CSP](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/bitlocker-csp).
    
-   **Certificate stores** — Root CA Trusted Certificates, Trusted People, Trusted Publisher and Untrusted Certificates, from the [CertificateStore CSP](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/certificatestore-csp).
    
-   **App management** — Enterprise Desktop App Management for classic Win32 and MSI installs, and Enterprise Modern App Management for Store and MSIX apps and their licenses, from the [EnterpriseModernAppManagement CSP](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/enterprisemodernappmanagement-csp).
    
-   **Language settings**, and the result of any applied [Custom ADMX Configuration](https://docs.applivery.com/en/device-management/windows/policies/admx-configs/).
    

:::info
This category also lists **every policy area the Device supports**. That's worth checking before you spend time troubleshooting why a setting isn't applying — if the area isn't in the list, the Device simply doesn't support it, and no amount of policy tuning will change that.
:::

## User

The same kind of data as **Device**, but scoped to the **currently logged-in user** — the `./User/Vendor/MSFT/...` side of the tree. Many Windows CSPs exist in both a Device and a User instance, because some settings only make sense per person rather than machine-wide.

-   **Personal Data Encryption** — whether it's enabled and which known folders (Desktop, Documents and so on) are protected, from the [Personal Data Encryption CSP](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/personaldataencryption-csp).
    
-   **Installed per-user apps** — the AppX package family names installed for that user, such as Teams, Edge or Outlook.
    
-   **User-scoped enrollment and certificates** — ActiveSync, Accounts, and the user instance of Client Certificate Install for PFX and SCEP, from the [ClientCertificateInstall CSP](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/clientcertificateinstall-csp), plus the user-scoped DM Client provider information.
    

## Vendor

Broader health, security and licensing telemetry that isn't split between Device and User — several CSPs reported under one category:

-   **Security and health** — antivirus signature status from the [Defender CSP](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/defender-csp), battery estimates, cellular identities, encryption compliance and Device Guard.
    
-   **Network security** — firewall rules, profiles and dynamic keyword addresses, from the [Firewall CSP](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/firewall-csp).
    
-   **Windows licensing** — Device Licensing Service status, License Type, Edition, License Key Type and Subscriptions.
    
-   **Miscellaneous device-wide settings** — network settings such as credentials and password encryption, Secure Assessment, and Autopilot or device provisioning status.
    

## Device Detail

Hardware and OS-level facts: software version (`Sw V`), OEM, `DNS Computer Name` and `Device Name`, `Free Storage`, `Local Time` and similar low-level attributes.

Mostly from the [DevDetail CSP](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/devdetail-csp).

## Custom Configuration

The actual configuration payloads pushed to the Device — including, for a [Custom ADMX Configuration](https://docs.applivery.com/en/device-management/windows/policies/admx-configs/), the raw ADMX XML definition delivered to it, under `Config Operations`, `ADMX Install` and `Policy`.

This is the most direct way to confirm exactly what was sent to a Device, byte for byte. When a setting isn't behaving as expected, comparing what you configured against what actually arrived here usually settles the question.

## Summary

A compliance-oriented rollup: `Serial Number`, `Compliance` and `Is Compliance`, `Last Sync Error` and `Last Sync Error Message`, and counts for `Applications`, `Books` and `Profiles`.

It's the fastest place to check whether a Device is currently in a healthy state — and `Last Sync Error Message` is often the single most useful field on the whole tab when something has stopped working.
