SaaS Dashboard

The SaaS Dashboard enables you to see at a glance how much you are spending on Software as a Service (SaaS). The SaaS Dashboard also provides insight into how application licenses are used across organizations, so organizations can right-size application licenses to optimize spend.

To access the SaaS Dashboard, go to the Dashboards menu and select SaaS Dashboard.

SaaS Dashboard Data Descriptions and Sources

How often is the SaaS Dashboard data updated?

The SaaS Dashboard data is updated when Flexera One pulls in new information regarding active/inactive/never active user counts. The new user counts cause the dashboard counts to be recalculated. Once the dashboard counts are recalculated, the data updates are displayed in the SaaS Dashboard.

Important:For Managed Applications that have an integration task error displayed in the Integration tab, you need to re-authenticate the integration to enable the cadence for updating your organization’s SaaS Dashboard data. For further error details, download the Execution Log in the Integration tab.

Some examples of pulling in new active/inactive/never active user count information include:

The application’s HR Roster information is updated.
The application’s Application Roster integration task is executed.
New usage events are pulled in.
An application’s activity threshold is modified.
Licenses are added or modified in the application’s Licenses tab.
