Access Evidence Property Reference

The following table describes properties (listed alphabetically) displayed in columns on the following Evidence pages:

• Unrecognized Access Evidence
• Discovered Access Evidence
• Inactive Access Evidence
• Ignored Access Evidence
• All Access Evidence

Note:Most lists in IT Asset Management only show a selection of the properties in the underlying database. Some columns are displayed by default and others can be displayed using the column chooser control, including any custom properties that you have added. For information on using the column chooser, see Managing Columns in a Table.

Access Evidence Properties

Column Name

Details

Assigned

Displays Yes when the evidence is matched to at least one application, and otherwise displays No. This assignment may have been done automatically through the Application Recognition Library rules, or manually by the operator.

Edition

The edition of the server application that was accessed from a client device, as reported by the access evidence.

Matches

Indicates the total number of times that this access evidence record was matched by the most recent inventory import. For example, If two different instances of Microsoft SQL Server (on different servers) were accessed (by one or more users through one or more devices ) for 10 and 5 times each, and the access evidence in the imported inventory matches this record, this field will display 15.

Note:A figure displayed in the Matches column may not reflect the actual number of access attempts. These figures may be different for the following reasons:

• Multiple items within the same inventory can match one evidence rule. For example, if the version in a rule is generalized as "1.%", then the evidence for releases 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 all count as separate evidence matches; but they may all resolve to the same accessed server application.
• While some inventory tools count duplicate computer records as having separate instances of evidence, IT Asset Management automatically merges duplicate records, and so will only count the application once.

Name

The name of the access evidence record, derived from (and often identical to) the name of the application being accessed. Access evidence found in incoming inventory that matches this evidence record count as access to the linked application.

Tip:Clicking the hyperlink on the Name value opens the properties for that piece of access evidence. In those properties, selecting the Devices tab lists all the inventory devices where that access evidence has been reported in inventory.

Publisher

The name of the publisher of the accessed server application, as reported by the access evidence.

Source

The source of this access evidence rule:

• Flexera—The access evidence is identified in the Application Recognition Library, and is linked to the application identified there.
• Flexera (Extended)— The evidence is identified in the Application Recognition Library, and an operator also marked this access evidence as ignored, or linked different application(s) to the record.
• Local—The evidence record was created either by spreadsheet import or by the Inventory Agent, and does not exist in the Application Recognition Library. You can edit or delete this record.

Version

The version of the accessed server application as reported by the access evidence.
