Deferred Applications Page

FlexNet Manager Suite ()

This page lists only unmanaged applications with the Deferred status.

From this page, you can:

Create a new application record for something discovered in your enterprise (see Adding an Application)
Create a license for any application selected from the list (see Creating a License)
Change the management status of any selected application(s) (see Changing the Status of an Application)
Set the status of the Import detailed evidence flag for any selected application(s) (see Setting the status of the Import detailed evidence flag)
Navigate to the properties of an application, either by clicking its name in the listing, or by selecting it and clicking Open (see Application Properties)
Delete a Local application record (see Deleting an Application Record)
Resolve cases where the evidence for multiple applications overlaps (see Resolving the Application's Overlapping Evidence Alerts).

The following columns (listed alphabetically) are available. By default, some are listed in the column chooser. The Save view as feature of FlexNet Manager Suite enables you to create customized management views of a page by saving the applied user interface settings. For more information, see Creating Saved Views.

Tip: Any custom properties that you have added for this object are also available through the column chooser. Like other properties, you can also use these properties for filtering and grouping records on this page.

Column name	Notes
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`.
Containers	The count of installations of this application installed in containers. Note: This is a subset of the total count displayed in the Installed column.
Edition	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`.
Evidence capability	Most application evidence is used to identify whether an application is installed on a device. Some evidence may identify whether the application was accessed by a user. This column identifies the kinds of evidence so far linked to the application, with the following values: - `Installation` - `Access` - `Installation and Access` — There is evidence available for either purpose, or both. - `None` — The application has not been linked to any evidence records \(by default, there is also an alert displayed on the application name highlighting the same shortcoming\). You should try to remedy this situation, as without evidence, consumption for any license linked to this application cannot be calculated. Not editable.
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` \(either manually in the General tab of the inventory device properties, or automatically because the inventory device is linked to an asset that is either `Disposed` or `Retired`\). 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 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: - If an application is linked to more than one license, the Installed count includes the installations associated with all related licenses. - Multiple application installations can count as a single entitlement, for example when an application with a user-based license is used by one user on multiple computers - Installations of applications installed in containers are not used in license consumption calculations. Not editable. The installed count is recalculated after each inventory import. Access right restrictions — The Installed column counts only the installations on inventory devices that you have the right to view.
Is locked	Represents the ability to edit the application, based on its source. Displays `Yes` if the Source of this application is `Flexera` or `Flexera (Extended)`, and otherwise displays `No`. Not editable.
Licensed	This column indicates whether an installed application is linked to at least one license \(either `Yes` or `No` is displayed\). Editable in the Licenses tab of the application's properties.
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. Tip: 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	Tip: You can edit this on the General tab of the application properties when `Local` is displayed in the Source column \(which means the application was added manually by an operator\).
Publisher	The name of the publisher of this software, responsible for its development and distribution. Tip: You can edit this on the General tab of the application properties when `Local` is displayed in the Source column \(which means the application was added manually by an operator\).
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`. In this page, although all status values are shown when creating filters, applications can have only one status value: - `Deferred` — You intend to manage this application in due course, but not now. This status is intended to be a temporary state that you will change later. Since it is an administrative convenience only, installations of these applications still count for license consumption. When you are ready to process an application, see Changing the Status of an Application.
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.
Usage	The count of devices on which inventory shows that usage tracking is turned on, and the application has been used. Tip: This is the number of devices showing usage in the Devices tab of the application properties, and is filtered by the thresholds set in the Usage tab of the same application properties. Devices where applications are opened less often, or for shorter times, than specified there are not counted here; but for usage tracked in Flexera inventory, may be checked in the Raw Software Usage page \(where no thresholds apply\). This data is read-only.
Version	The release number \(or release identifier\) of an application. Tip: You can edit this on the General tab of the application properties when `Local` is displayed in the Source column \(which means the application was added manually by an operator\).
