Software Reclamation Dashboard
App Portal 2020 R1
App Portal’s Software Reclamation dashboard is now the Home page of App Portal if you have permissions to view it. App Portal’s Software Reclamation dashboard provides tiles and graphs to give you an overview of the progress and status of your software reclamation policies. The tiles at the top of the dashboard display the total reclamation savings over a specified time frame, and also displays the percentage of successful, pending, and failed reclamations in that same time frame. Six graphs are also provided on the dashboard that give granular reclamation details. With all of this information readily available, you will be able to more closely monitor your software reclamation efforts, helping to drive continual software license reclamation and optimization.
