Patch Management - Vulnerability Analysis Report

Question

In BOE, under the Public folder, there's a predefined report for Patch Management called Vulnerability Analsysis. This report has several fields: Vulnerability, Criticality, Devices......etc. I'm looking for something that will explain this report. For example, what is the Devices field telling us? It looks to be some sort of status count, but none of the values in my report exceed the value of 3. Another example.....for the "MS 936929 Windows XP Service Pack 3" vulnerability, my report shows 3 for Devices, 938 patched, 46 not patched, 3 not applicable, 0 error, 46 detecting, and 76% patched. Again....I have no idea what the value 3 for Devices means?
