Applications Tab for Installer Evidence
FlexNet Manager Suite ()
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.
Column name | 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. |
**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 \(when generated by FlexNet Manager Suite\), 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. |
