Software Inventory view

The new Software Inventory view is used to display the latest known software configuration for the PCs selected in the Network Browser or All Machine views. You can select a single PC, domain or entire network to see their software inventory information. By default, inventory info is grouped by software publisher name and software application name, so you can drill-down to see computers where particular software applications are installed. You can switch the view to other inventory representation modes, apply custom data grouping and use filtering and search options.

Inventory Snapshots view

The Inventory Snapshots view can be used to access to all software inventory snapshots stored by the application for the selected PCs. You can see inventory information stored in every snapshot and also compare snapshots to find software inventory changes.

Snapshots History view

The Snapshots History view displays results of all inventory scans ever performed by the application. It is not synchronized with selection on the Network Browser or All Machine views and displays all scans performed, so you can see inventory information collected by every scan.

Brand-new UI

The application comes with the brand-new interface based on the Ribbon UI. The main actions of the application are represented on the Ribbon bar and in context menus. All interface elements are dockable and can be moved and re-grouped according with your taste.

Easy-to-use task management

The application implements the brand-new conception of task management and UI organization. You can execute multiple remote operations in parallel and they don't block UI, so you can see, for example, results of application scanning and export data while the network scan operation continues to work. All executed operations can be managed through a Task Management view where you can stop, pause and resume operations if you need.

Fast network scanner

The network scanner used to collect a list of network computers and extract software information from remote PCs is optimized and can work with a good performance even large networks that include thousands of computers. It can scan PCs in a Windows domain, workgroup and in mixed environments.

Export data to a file

If you need to create a custom software inventory report, you can export collected information about installed applications and updates to a file in CSV format. The Export Wizard allows configuring export format options.

Database switching

The application data are stored in the local, file-based database. By default it's stored separately for every user who work with the application, but if you like to use the shared database, you can use the option in the application preferences to specify a path to the shared database location.
