The report from Orion Report Writer "Top 25 Wireless Clients by Traffic Rates over the Last 7 Days" shows great information about users registered on Wireless LAN Controllers (e.g. Model = Cisco 5500 Series Wireless Controller).
Unfortunately though, each user is identified by MAC address, so it is very hard to quickly use the information that is presented.
As such, when configuring the "MAC Filtering" > "Local MAC Filters" list" on the wireless controller, there is a "Description" field that we populate with the device name details. This information in gathered in the SNMPwalk of the device as the following:-
The "Description" fields are gathered as in the following:-

We would be very grateful if this “Description” Field could be inserted as a new column on the extreme left hand side of the table...
This would give a more meaningful and useful table...
