Description

Total

The total targets in scope for the reclamation.

Active

The count of in progress reclamation actions. Records that have not been responded to and have not expired.

The count of reclamation actions that have been responded to.

Auto-Reclaimed

The count of reclamation actions that did not receive a response by the end of the reclamation campaign and that were automatically submitted for reclamation (uninstall software).

Inactive

The count of records that are in scope with the reclamation rules but have not been activated for reclamation. This occurs when you choose to verify the reclamation action before beginning the process (Default).

Succeeded

The count of records where the reclamation was initiated and where the uninstall process completed successfully.

Owned

If the request is linked to an inventory group the current owned inventory count is displayed.

Used

If the request is linked to an inventory group the current usage inventory count is displayed.

Owed

If the request is linked to an inventory group and the current license usage is negative, the current cost of the license multiplied by the count of negative licenses is displayed. As the license reclamation process continues, this value ideally will go to zero.
