Custom Update Notifications

Is there an easy way to view a table such as the following?

Version of Updates Published and/or Downloaded	Latest Version
Firefox - 19	20
Flash - 17.0.0.179	18
Adobe Reader - 9	10
etc...	etc...

Are you looking for something like this? http://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-167089

Yes, but that has the latest releases.

I'm looking for something more customized. I want to view only the patches we are deploying. That is, I want to view the current version we have published, and view the latest released version. The idea is to make it easy to see if I need to download/publish any new packages. I get the sync notification email, but it only says which packages were updated, and sometimes this doesn't necessarily mean a new version was released.

There's not currently a method to automate the aggregation of this specific data that I am aware of, but it wouldn't be too difficult to combine the results from a Patch Manager report with the table of third party patches spreadsheet. To pull the currently published third party updates I started off with this report, and made the modifications as shown below.

From here it's just a matter of exporting the report results to xls, and combine the 2 resources together.

This looks like what I'm looking for! Can you walk me through the steps on how to set that up?
