The software inventory can be accessed by clicking on the SOFTWARE item in the inventory sidebar. By default this will take you to the list of installed software products.
In the output listings, color codes are used to identify certain software categories. As an example, engineering software is exposed in magenta, whereas SCADA/HMI software is exposed in yellow.
The software product list lets you examine characteristics of your installed software products, such as product lifecycle stage, and determine where a given software or firmware product is installed.
You can use the sort and filter bar to limit the output listing.
By default, only the software categories OS (operating system) and Application are shown in order not to mess up the listing with hundreds or thousands of software components and patches. You can select or deselect any software category by using the drop-down menu in the filter bar. Note that you can select multiple categories.
After selecting the software categories that you are interested in, click on the filter bar to activate your selection and to close the drop-down menu.
