Adding from the Software List

Applications can be added to the list of managed applications via the list of installed software generated by the software inventory. Software applications which do not provide all information required for a managed application will in this case not appear in the list here. To add an application to the list of managed application from the general software inventory list, proceed as follows:

1. Select Edit > Add from Software Inventory .
   The Add from Software Inventory dialog box appears on the screen. This window appears the list of applications found in the software inventory that can be used for the managing of applications.

   Note:

   Make sure not to select an application of type Add/Remove Program or MSI, these types can be added to the application catalogue but they cannot be managed via the Application lists as vital information is missing.

2. In this window you can select your application in one of the following different fashions:
   • The All tab displays the list of available applications in the form of a table with its name and version number.
   • The Search tab allows you to search for a specific application either by its name, version or type attribute. Select the respective value from the Search Fields list. Then enter the words which you are sure the respective attribute contains in the Value box and select the appropriate operator from the preceding Operator box and then click Find . The search will query all application name and the following table displays all those which match your condition.
3. Select one or more applications to be added to the list of managed applications.
4. Click OK at the bottom of the window to confirm the data for the new managed application or click Cancel to abandon without modifications and to close the window.
