Software catalog view

About

This view lists all software installed and used across managed Windows computers. On this view, the software identification is based on a software catalog  If the software catalog feature is not enabled, the view is hidden.

The view shows only such software catalog items that are installed to at least one computer. The "Identified" column displays the number of identified software installations in the managed Windows computers.

If you find out that software catalog doesn't recognize some software, you can submit a software cataloging request. Please read Adding applications to software catalog for more information.

Task

Description

Analyze

This task allows to analyze the computers where the selected software have been installed to.

The software installations can be analyzed on two levels: on a location or asset level.

Create Managed software

This task creates managed software item(s) to Miradore for the selected software catalog item(s). The Managed software items are generated using the information from the software catalog.

Alternatively, this task can be used to update the software identification rules of existing Managed software items.

Export

By default, this task exports all the view contents in the selected file format. However, you can use the check boxes in the view to export selected rows only. You can select rows for the export from one page of the view at a time.

The supported file formats for the data export are CSV, Excel, and PDF. In some views, configuration items can be also exported to a group distribution.

If you experience system errors or timeouts when trying to export large amounts of data to Excel, you can try to troubleshoot the problem by adjusting the value of the "Number of rows processed per query" field in Miradore system settings > Main > Export settings.

Print

This task prints the view contents.
