Max_Schoenhuber asked a question.
Hi all,
I am building a management report in Flexera Analytics (Flexera One ITAM) that ranks publishers by purchase spend per calendar year. The purchase side works well: using only Publisher name and Purchase amount from the Flexera Asset Management Model (relational), filtered on Purchase date before auto aggregation, the figures match the All Purchases view exactly.
The next step is to spread multi-year purchases across the contract term (contract start date to expiry date). For that I need the link between a purchase and its contract. In the product this link exists (Contract properties > Purchases tab, and Contract no. on the purchase), but I cannot find it in either Analytics package:
• Flexera Asset Management Model (relational and dimensional): the Purchases folder has no contract field, and the Contracts folder has no purchase field. Combining both in one list yields a cross product (every purchase amount repeated per contract).
• Flexera Data Models: same picture.
• The FNMS Schema Reference for the Analytics models does not list a relationship either.
Questions:
1. Is there a supported way in Flexera Analytics to report purchase amounts by contract, or to get contract start and expiry dates onto a purchase row?
2. If not, is the relationship planned for a future release of the Analytics packages, or should this be raised as an Idea?
The calculation needs to stay inside the platform (scheduled Analytics report, no external spreadsheet), so I am looking for a way to get contract start and expiry dates onto the purchase rows within Flexera Analytics itself. Any pointers welcome.
Thanks!
I haven't personally seen any ideas or plans about extending the data model. I would recommend creating an idea in the ideas portal and share it here to gather interest from other forum members.
Thanks,
John Sorensen

ITV Data Explorer Drill-Downs are live - in-context entity detail without leaving the report
You can now click straight into any device or software row in a Data Explorer report and open a slide-out panel with the full, grouped detail for that entity without leaving the report or running a separate query.
Reports are great at breadth: lots of entities side by side. But the moment you need to understand one of them in depth, you used to hit a wall, navigate away, re-query, or ask someone to pull the detail by hand. Drill-downs close that gap. The depth is one click away, in the same view, so you can move from "what's across my estate?" to "tell me everything about this one device" in a single step.
Why it matters
Every context-switch costs an momentum. Jumping out to re-query, or waiting on someone else to pull the detail, is exactly where investigations stall and questions go unanswered. Drill-downs now keep that depth inline, so the person looking at the report is the person who gets the answer in the moment, without breaking flow and without a separate query. That's faster time-to-insight and a lot more self-service for you.
How it works
In a report you have built you can now click into:
I am also looking for feedback so if there is any improvements you feel we can make to the data returned, please let me know!
Kishan Pant asked a question.
My understanding is that the 'User' column only populates if a specific user has active usage on a machine. Do metric settings such as 'Usage within metering period', 'All primary users', or 'All computer users' affect how this data is displayed? Additionally, how is the 'User' data handled when an application has multiple metrics enabled, such as both Installation and Users?
Best Answer
Thanks very much for logging your question.
Please see the supporting details below:
The ‘User’ column is shown only when Snow Atlas can associate a discovered user with the application or the device that the application is on. Report behaviour does not depend on the application’s metric settings.
Metric settings—such as “usage within metering period”, “all primary users”, or “all computer users”—affect license calculation but do not determine whether a user appears in these reports.
When an application has multiple metrics (e.g., Installation + User), Snow Atlas does not prioritize metrics for reporting. It simply displays a user when user‑level evidence exists or when a device with the application has a known associated user.
Regards
Flexera
Hi @Kishan Pant, these reports show the applications associated with the user or computer. E.g. when a computer is scanned, the applications and users are scanned and are associated. This is independent from usage. If you activate metering, then the usage columns like "Last used" are populated. If you want to have more information we can hop on a call. Best regards, Max Schönhuber

I've explored various views, ITAM reporting, and ITV reporting, but haven't been able to find a method to support this type of reporting request.
Please check above image. In my report, I have inserted slicer for Software Release and in dropdown, I have selected all and deselected Microsift Edge 113.
Below image shows slicer selection and field selection.
Below image shows how to change slicer settings for dropdown and multiple selection.
You can enable search from the three dots in the right top corner of the table.
Hope this helps :)

ITV – TI Platform: Business Services Insights OOTB Report in Power BI (Live Now!)
Good day! We are pleased to announce the release of Newly rebuilt Business Services Insights OOTB Report in ITV – TI Platform.
What is This Report?
The Business Services Insights is a newly rebuilt Power BI report that provides a comprehensive overview of your business services portfolio, with direct insights into hardware, software, and vulnerability risks. It is designed to support both executive and operational stakeholders by connecting asset data with lifecycle stages and security exposures, enabling better visibility and smarter decision-making around service resilience and operational alignment.
Where do you find?
IT Visibility -> Technology Intelligence Reports -> Hardware, Software, Governance and Risk and Security
Dashboards -> Technology Intelligence Reports -> Hardware, Software, Governance and Risk and Security
Why We Rebuilt This
The legacy GoodData version being decommissioned served its purpose but had limitations in data volume, user interactivity, and depth of insights. This new Power BI version addresses those gaps by:
• Bringing interactive filtering for tailored insights
• Enabling drill-through views for deeper, more intuitive analysis
• Supporting larger data volumes for improved scalability and visibility
What the Report Provides
Purpose and Value to Users
This report delivers more than just data — it brings strategic clarity by aligning IT assets with the Business services they support. Users can:
✔ Map infrastructure directly to critical business services
✔ Identify services with outdated and vulnerable assets
✔ Improve lifecycle management, patch planning, and compliance
✔ Align operational decisions with business and financial priorities

Hi
What are the best ways to populate business service data into ITV-TI?
I have looked at the ServiceNOW integration and that doesnt seam to pull in CMDB data.
In the release of this Business Services Insights, its mentioned This report helps organizations to Map infrastructure to critical business services. But in what way does it help or provide the functionality to map?
I'm unable to get application usage sessions on devices in the installations report is there is any process for it to get that
In addition: There's no attribute like "InsertTime" at all. I don't know what exactly you want to reflect with that...
