Enhanced IT Visibility Software Evidence UI Experience with Installer, File, and Operating System Evidence
We’re thrilled to introduce a new tabbed experience on the IT Visibility Software Evidence page (Applications & Evidence > IT Visibility Software > Software Evidence), designed to give you richer, more organized insights into your software inventory.
With this update, you can seamlessly navigate between three evidence types:
- Installer Evidence (default view): Displays All, Active, Irrelevant, and Unrecognized evidence counts, now including Installation Path details.
- File Evidence: Shows All and Active (Technopedia Mapped) evidence counts directly in the UI.
- OS Evidence: Includes All, Active (Technopedia Mapped), and Unrecognized evidence counts for a comprehensive OS overview.
This enhancement empowers you to filter, track, and manage evidence data with greater clarity and control, bringing full transparency to your software inventory. Installation paths for installer evidence, OS evidence, and recognized file evidence are now available directly within the UI, reducing manual effort and reliance on external queries.
Note: OS and File Evidence are now available on the Software Evidence page and will be extended to Devices, Inventory Normalization Insights, and Private Catalog in future updates. Support for irrelevant evidence will also be added in an upcoming release. Please note that the Software Evidence dataset accessible via the Queries API and Data Exports currently includes only Installer Evidence and does not contain OS or File Evidence.
You may notice changes in Active counts in evidence as we continue to improve and streamline the underlying behavior for greater accuracy and consistency.
This update ensures a complete, accurate, and trusted view of your software environment, enabling better lifecycle management, compliance, and risk decision-making in one place.
