Software product profiles

You can get additional details about a software or firmware product by selecting the product in the software product inventory and then clicking on the Profile button in the command bar. Another way to launch the software product profile is to click on the product's name in other profiles such as device profiles.

The software product profile is shown in a new browser window. The following is a sample software profile for Windows 2008 Server.

In a software product profile you see the following sections that can be expanded and collapsed by clicking on the section's "+" or "-" button:

• Header: The product name, vendor, and version. If set, there may also be a picture, such as the vendor's company logo.
• General: General information such as the product category (for example, "operating system") and a link to the vendor's product page. Here you may also find product lifecycle information and the content of any custom fields.
