Evidence Tab: File Evidence

IT Asset Management (Cloud)

This choice displays the details of the file evidence imported from this inventory device, and enables you click through to view the properties of the selected piece of file evidence.

This page displays the following columns (listed alphabetically). Some columns are displayed by default and others can be displayed through the column chooser. To manage columns and other UI options, see the topics under Managing Columns in a Table.

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.

Assigned application

The application to which the evidence is assigned. This value will differ from the Recognized application if any of the following is correct:

• The evidence is assigned to an application but is set to Ignored and therefore it is not used for recognition
• The application to which the evidence is assigned is part of a suite and that suite has been recognized instead of the individual application
• The application to which the evidence is assigned was removed by precedence rules
• The evidence existence rule is set to Not for recognition or Not allowed.

Company

The name of the publisher as reported by the file evidence.

Description

Description of the file evidence retrieved from the Application Recognition Library.

Existence rule

The existence rule for this evidence. The following options are available:

• At least one — The file evidence proves an application is installed. However, if multiple pieces of file evidence are marked as At least one, then the presence of any one of these items proves the installation of an application.
• Not allowed — The file evidence actively prevents recognition of the application. However the same file evidence can be used to recognize another application on the same computer.
• Not for recognition — The file evidence is found (and is accounted for) when the application is installed, but is not used in any way for application recognition.
• Required — This file evidence proves that an application is installed, and it must be present for the application to be identified.

Ignored

Displays Yes when the evidence is not used for application recognition, and No (the default) when the evidence is used to recognize an installation of the assigned application.
