Software Title Dimension

IT Asset Management (Cloud)

As part of the Installation analysis, the Software title dimension allows you to drill down to an individual application (or 'software title') as part of analyzing software installed throughout your enterprise.

The Software title dimension expands into a three-level hierarchy that gives you access to (in order):

Publisher
Product
Software Title Name (or, as seen within IT Asset Management, the application name).

You may report on any level. For example, if you choose only a publisher, your report includes all products and applications from that publisher.

Table 1. Attributes for the Software title dimension, Publisher level
Attribute	Notes
Publisher	The name of the company that publishes this application (and product). Related management view: For each application, the publisher is linked through the General tab of the application properties. However, the publisher must exist first for linking, and these records are maintained in the All Vendors page (Procurement > Purchases & Vendors > All Vendors). The publisher for each application is widely available in application listings, such as the All Applications page (Applications & Evidence > Applications > All Applications).

Table 2. Attributes for the Software title dimension, Product level
Attribute	Notes
Product	The common name for a family of applications, independent of version or edition details. This must be unique for any given publisher. Related management view: For each application, the Product name is displayed in the General tab of application properties (and when you manually create an application record, you can link the product value there). All applications that share a common value in that Product field are deemed to be distinct versions/editions of the same product. The product name is widely available in application listings, such as the All Applications page (Applications & Evidence > Applications > All Applications) (although sometimes you must add it to the listing from the column chooser).
