  1. What are the criteria for displaying data for the 'User' column in the 'Application per User' or 'Application per Computer and User' reports?

    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?

    Question with a 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.

    • 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

      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.

       

      imageBelow image shows how to change slicer settings for dropdown and multiple selection.

    • Deployment Currency: Quickly identify outdated or non-compliant software and hardware that may increase security or performance risks.
    • Hardware & Software Lifecycle Summary: View device and software counts per business service, including Manufacturer, Model, Product, and Lifecycle Stage.
    • Vulnerability Risk Portfolio: Prioritize remediation using combined views of business services, threat risk, lifecycle status, and total vulnerabilities.
    • Drill-through to Operational Alignment: Get detailed alignment across Business Unit, Cost Center, and Location for better planning and accountability.
    • Hardware Lifecycle with Inventory Details: Asset-level hardware insights with End of Sale/Obsolescence dates, Inventory Date, Inventory Agent, Serial Number, and Domain.
    • Software Portfolio Lifecycle Details: Full visibility into product versions, lifecycle dates, and release details — vital for patching and compliance.
    • Detailed CVE View: Vulnerabilities (CVEs) by software release, showing how many installs are affected — to quantify impact and prioritize action.

    • Is there an update on this call? It feels like development of Snow Atlas is on a very, very low level.
