Applications Tab
The Applications tab of the evidence properties displays the applications associated with this evidence. In most cases, the Application Recognition Library automatically matches the evidence to the appropriate application, but you can manually add applications to an evidence. See Assigning (or Unassigning) Evidence to (or from) an Application.
The following access evidence properties are available (listed alphabetically) on this tab.
Field | Details |
---|---|
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 .) |
Classification |
The type of software, especially as it relates to licensing (freeware, commercial 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. 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.
Tip: This count excludes any
installations on inventory devices for which the Status
has been set to Ignored (in the General tab of the inventory
device properties). This is the count of installations on
Active inventory devices.
Counts do not match the evidence. A figure in the Installed column might differ from evidence match counts because more than one piece of evidence may link to a single application. This might happen for applications with multiple installed components (leading to multiple installed evidence matches). For example, if an application is installed as three different components, each generating a file evidence, the evidence match count would be three, but the Installed count would be resolved to one. Counts do not match the license. The Installed count for an application might differ from
the consumption for its associated license for either of these reasons:
Access right restrictions — The Installed column displays only the installations you have the right to view. The Installed count is not editable, and 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 name of the software application linked to this access evidence record. Access evidence found in incoming inventory that matches this evidence record count as access to this application. The application's name may be:
|
Product (primary) |
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. |

|
Status |
Indicates your assessment and processing of an
application. It can have any of the following values:
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:
|
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. Editable in the Version field in General tab of the application's properties, but only for those application records that were created within your enterprise. For applications from Application Recognition Library, it is not editable. |
