Unmanaged Applications Page
This page lists the applications found installed across your enterprise (as shown by linked evidence found in inventory), but not yet processed.
You may find it helpful to use this page as a "control center" or to-do list to help focus your work on compliance management. Initially, this list may contain a very large set of applications. However, your current task may be to prepare for (say) a Microsoft audit. You can manage this list to show only the applications on which you want to focus now, deferring the remainder until later. For details, see Reducing Unmanaged Applications.
- Create a new application record for something discovered in your enterprise (see Adding an Application)
- Create a license for any application selected from the list (see Creating a License)
- Change the management status of any selected application(s) (see Changing the Status of an Application)
- Navigate to the properties of an application, either by clicking its name in the listing, or by selecting it and clicking Open (see Application Properties)
- Delete a Local application record (see Deleting an Application Record
- Resolve cases where the evidence for multiple applications overlaps (see Resolving the Application's Overlapping Evidence Alerts).

Installed |
The count of installations of this application, calculated from evidence
matched in the last imported inventory. This includes the count of installations in
containers.
Tip: This is the count of installations in
Active inventory devices. In other words, this
count excludes any installations on inventory devices for which the
Status has been set to
Ignored (either manually in the General tab of the inventory
device properties, or automatically because the inventory device is linked to an
asset that is either Disposed or
Retired).
Not editable. The installed count is recalculated after each inventory import. Access right restrictions — The Installed column counts only the installations on inventory devices that you have the right to view. |

This data is read-only.Tip: This is the number of
devices showing usage in the Devices tab of the
application properties, and is filtered by the thresholds set in the
Usage tab of the same application properties. Devices
where applications are opened less often, or for shorter times, than specified
there are not counted here; but for usage tracked in Flexera inventory, may be
checked in the Raw Software Usage page (where no thresholds
apply).
