Under the Software category, the following reports are included:
| • | Lifecycle Dates—Displays the following two tabs: |
| • | Researched— Displays data based on manufacturer provided lifecycle dates only. |
| • | Researched+ Calculated—Displays data based on a combination of manufacturer provided dates and Flexera predicted dates. |
Note:The previously used field Calculated Support Lifecycle Stage Name (which combined researched and calculated values) has been deprecated and is hidden for further use. This is replaced with new field Lifecycle Stage Name Researched Calculated.
| • | Clone the reports to leverage the new fields, which now clearly separate researched and combined lifecycle dates. |
| • | Hiding this field does not break existing cloned reports, but we strongly recommend to update the reports to align with the new reporting structure and ensure clarity of use. |
| • | A new filter called Lifecycle Date has been introduced, offering two options: Researched and Researched + Calculated, which help differentiate between the types of lifecycle dates. This is currently hidden. The default view is the Researched + Calculated view. |
