IT Asset Management (Cloud)
For Virtual desktop templates tab under
Remote Device Properties, see Virtual Desktop Templates Tab.
IT Asset Management displays the
Virtual desktop templates tab on
the
Inventory Device Properties page when you select
Computer as
Inventory device type (in
the
General tab).
Restriction: This tab is not available
for inventory device records created to represent Oracle Database running in Amazon
Relational Database Service (RDS).
A virtual desktop template is a catalog of software
applications with user groups that are entitled to access those applications in a Virtual
Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environment. A virtual desktop template is a method to track
software usage details in a VDI environment.
IT Asset Management gets the software usage
details from the template and user details from Active Directory to track the usage of remote
applications by the users, through the inventory devices.
The following inventory device properties (listed
alphabetically) are available on this tab.
Table 1. Virtual desktop templates tab properties
Field |
Description |
Access mode |
The method that this device uses to access a software application. This field
can have one of the following values:
- Blank — When there is an allocation without any supportive installation record from
the imported inventory.
- App-V For a virtualized application delivered through
Microsoft App-V.
- Citrix Virtual App — Application data imported from
Citrix Cloud into IT Asset Management that is recognized by the Application
Recognition Library (ARL).
- Local — The application has been
installed locally on the inventory device.
- XenApp (now known as Citrix
Virtual Apps) — The application has been accessed remotely via a Citrix XenApp server.
- XenDesktop (now known as Virtual
Desktops) — The application has been installed on a virtual machine in your VDI
infrastructure, and associated with this inventory device because the primary end-user
has accessed the software through this inventory device. If your virtual machine image
includes the FlexNet Inventory Agent, this inventory device may have been identified as
the end-point from which the end user accessed the VDI. In other circumstances, the
end-user may have used a remote device such as a home computer or mobile device that
cannot be inventoried; but as the end-user is associated with this inventory device, the
application use can be recorded here for license consumption calculations.
IT Asset Management generates the value of this field.
Only available for Computer,
Virtual Machine, and VM Host
inventory device types.
