Applications Tab for Installer Evidence

IT Asset Management (Cloud)

The Applications tab of the Installer Evidence Properties enables you to view the application linked to existing evidence. For manually-created installer evidence, you can also search and assign application(s) to this evidence.

For more details about using column grouping and choosing columns, see Grouping Items in Lists and Managing Columns in a Table

The following table lists all columns available on the Applications tab.

Added application

This column displays Yes if an operator manually associated an application with the evidence. No is displayed if the application is provided through the Application Recognition Library.

To link an application to the evidence, click Search on the Applications tab, select an application the evidence must be associated with, and click Add applications. Remember to Save your changes to the evidence properties.

Category

The broad function of the application, by default from the UN Standard Products and Services Code.

For local applications, this field is editable in the General tab of the application properties. (Additional custom categories can be created in the IT Asset Categories page.)

Classification

The type of software, especially as it relates to licensing (freeware, commercial, component, and so on).

Visible on the General tab of the application properties. It is editable only for applications with a Source value of Local.

Edition name

The edition of an application, as specified by the publisher of this application.

Note: Many applications do not specify an edition.

Visible on the General tab of the application properties. It is editable only for applications with a Source value of Local.

Flexera ID

A generated code that uniquely identifies all application records, and can be used for integration between products from Flexera.

This data is read-only.

Installed

The count of installations of this application, calculated from evidence matched in the last imported inventory. This includes the count of installations in containers.

Tip: This is the count of installations in Active inventory devices. In other words, this count excludes any installations on inventory devices for which the Status has been set to Ignored (either manually in the General tab of the inventory device properties, or automatically because the inventory device is linked to an asset that is either Disposed or Retired).

Access right restrictions — The Installed column counts only the installations on inventory devices that you have the right to view.

Not editable. The installed count is recalculated after each inventory import.

Licensed

This column indicates whether an installed application is linked to at least one license (either Yes or No is displayed).

Name

The application's name, which may be:

• Set by the Application Recognition Library, and not editable (for applications with Source: Flexera)
• Derived from the evidence values for Product, Version, and Edition properties (when generated by IT Asset Management), and editable to suit your corporate standards.

You can edit this on the General tab of the application properties when Local is displayed in the Source column (which means the application was added manually by an operator).

Product

The basic name of the application, excluding the publisher and references to versions or editions. This field displays the value Multiple products for multi-product licenses that have multiple primary products. See Multi-Product License.

Product names are supplied by the Application Recognition Library and are not editable. New product names created within your enterprise are editable in the General tab of the application properties.

Publisher

The name of the publisher of this software, responsible for its development and distribution.

For application records that you create manually, Publisher is editable in the General tab of the application properties. For applications supplied through the Application Recognition Library, the Publisher field is not editable.

Source

The origin of an application record:

• Flexera — Shown when the application is downloaded in Application Recognition Library (if so, you cannot edit any of the application’s properties, but can link it to additional evidence).
• Local — Shown when an operator in your enterprise created the record for this application.
• Flexera (Extended) — Shown when an operator added additional evidence to the original record from Application Recognition Library.

Status

Indicates your assessment and processing of an application. It can have any of the following values:

• Authorized
• Deferred
• Ignored
• Inactive
• Unmanaged.

Editable in the General tab of the application's properties, or by selecting the application and using the Change status button in any of the following lists:

• Installed Applications
• Unmanaged Applications
• Managed Applications
• Deferred Applications
• Ignored Applications
• All Applications.

Suite

Displays Yes if this application is a suite (that is, contains child applications), and otherwise No. Remember that a non-suite (has no children) may itself be a member of a suite. For example, Adobe Creative Suite® is a suite, Adobe Photoshop is not, and Photoshop can be a member of Creative Suite.

Editable in the Suite and member section of the Evidence tab in the application properties.

Version

The release number (or release identifier) of an application.

Visible in the Version field in General tab of the application properties. Editable for applications with a Source value of Local. For applications from the Application Recognition Library, it is not editable.
