IT Visibility: TI reporting Updates - Export Report with filters applied - Live Now!

What’s New

Users with view-only permissions can now apply filters and slicer selections to a report and export the report with those selections reflected in the exported content.

The Problem We Addressed

Previously, when users accessed a report in view mode and applied filters or slicers, those selections were not carried through during export. Because the export process was backend-driven, the exported report could revert to the default report state rather than reflecting the user’s current view.

This created a gap for users who had permission to consume and analyze reports but did not have edit access, limiting their ability to export a personalized view of the data.

The Improvement

The export experience now captures the user-applied filter and slicer selections in view mode, ensuring that the exported report represents the context the user was actively analyzing.

Customer Value

• Enables view-only users to personalize reports before exporting.
• Ensures exported content reflects the filters and slicers selected by the user.
• Provides a more consistent experience between the report being viewed and the exported output.
• Removes the need for edit permissions simply to export a filtered view.
• Helps users easily share or retain focused, context-specific insights from their reports.

Why It Matters

This enhancement makes report export more aligned with how customers consume embedded reports filter first, analyze the relevant information, and then export the view that matters to them, regardless of whether they have edit or view permissions.

New in IT Visibility: Drill Down from Software Evidence to Associated Devices

We're excited to share an enhancement that makes it faster to see exactly which devices are behind any software evidence record in IT Visibility.

Device Counts added to Software Evidence

IT Visibility now shows a Device Counts column on the Software Evidence page (Applications & Evidence > IT Visibility Software > Software Evidence). It shows how many devices have that evidence. Click the count to open the Devices page, filtered to only the devices associated with that evidence record and evidence type.

You'll find Device Counts in:

• The Installer Evidence, File Evidence, and OS Evidence views, where it appears as a column.
• The detail page of an individual evidence record, where it appears as a value.

Why this matters: Previously, you had to search separately to find out where a piece of software evidence was installed. Now one click takes you from "what's installed" to "where it's installed." This helps when you're validating recognition, looking into unexpected software, or preparing for an audit.

With this update, you can:

• Go straight from an evidence record to its associated devices.
• Search within just the filtered device records, with the evidence filter still applied.
• Add more column filters and keep the evidence filter in place.
• Export only the filtered devices with Download Grid Data (CSV). The file is named Devices-Filtered-by-SW-Evidence-Export-<date>.csv.

Note: The summary card and group buttons aren't shown on the filtered Devices page.

IT Visibility - TI Platform: Report enhancements – Live Now!

From Current-State Visibility to Historical Technology Intelligence. Introducing Integrated Trend Views Across Hardware, Software & Vulnerability Insights.

As customers use our Hardware and Software Portfolio reports to understand their technology environment, we wanted to take the experience beyond a point-in-time view and help them understand how their environment is evolving over time. Historical trend data collection began in 2025, and we now have approximately a year of datasets that enables us to provide meaningful historical comparisons across key technology and security metrics. With this enhancement, we have integrated Trend Views directly into the main Hardware Portfolio, Software Portfolio, and Software Vulnerability Insights reports, bringing current-state and historical perspectives together in a single reporting experience.

Customers can now track trends across:

• Installations
• Devices Inventoried
• End of Life
• End of Sale
• Obsolescence
• Total Vulnerabilities
• CVEs

The trend views also support the common dimensions and filters available within the respective reports, allowing customers to move beyond overall trends and monitor how changes are occurring across different parts of their environment.

Why we introduced this enhancement

Previously, portfolio reporting primarily helped customers answer:

“What does my technology environment look like today?”

With a year of historical data now available, we can help answer an equally important question:

“How is my technology and security environment changing over time?”

This enhancement allows customers to:

• Track portfolio growth and changes in installations and inventoried devices.
• Monitor lifecycle exposure over time across End of Life, End of Sale, and Obsolescence.
• Understand vulnerability trends by monitoring changes in Total Vulnerabilities and CVEs.
• Identify emerging patterns and changes rather than relying solely on current-state numbers.
• Use dimensions and filters to understand where changes are occurring.
• Connect historical context with current-state insights to support technology planning, lifecycle management, and security prioritization.

Value

Customers can now access historical trends alongside their current portfolio and vulnerability insights, without needing to navigate to a separate experience to understand how key metrics have changed.

This provides a more complete view of the technology environment by combining current state + historical movement + lifecycle exposure + vulnerability trends in the reports customers already use.

IT Visibility - TI Platform: New Report Update – Live Now!

Lifecycle Intelligence: One View. Better Decisions!

Previously, customers looking to understand lifecycle exposure had to navigate between separate Proactive SW/HW EOL/End-of-Sale and Obsolescence Guidance and Strategic SW/HW Insights reports to answer related questions what is already at risk, what is coming next, how severe is the exposure, and where should they prioritize action. While both reports addressed important aspects of lifecycle management, the split experience required users to connect insights across multiple reports.

As part of our continuous review of customer feedback, usage patterns, and input from internal stakeholders, we identified an opportunity to simplify this experience and make lifecycle intelligence more actionable. We have therefore consolidated the Proactive and Strategic lifecycle capabilities into a single, enhanced intelligence experience.

The new Software Lifecycle Intelligence and Hardware Lifecycle Intelligence bring lifecycle visibility, severity analysis, roadmap planning, and organizational impact together in one place. This creates a more connected user journey—from understanding current lifecycle exposure and prioritizing risk to planning remediation, technology transitions, procurement, and future budgets.

What’s New & Enhanced

• One consolidated lifecycle experience: Combines the capabilities previously distributed across Proactive and Strategic Hardware/Software Lifecycle reports.
• Complete lifecycle visibility: Understand current exposure as well as upcoming End-of-Sale/EOL and obsolescence milestones.
• Severity-based replacement prioritization: Identify Critical and High severity devices/models or Software’s requiring attention.
• Hardware/Software lifecycle roadmap: Visualize upcoming lifecycle milestones to support replacement, procurement and support technology transition planning.
• Organizational analysis: Understand exposure across business services, business units, cost centers, and locations.
• Detailed drill-through: Move from roadmap-level model/release insights to lifecycle dates and affected device information.
• Lifecycle-focused analysis: Easily switch between End-of-Sale/End-of-Life and Obsolete perspectives to focus analysis on the required lifecycle stage.

Overall Value

Both Software and Hardware Lifecycle Intelligence reports create a single destination for software and hardware lifecycle visibility, risk prioritization, remediation planning, and future technology planning helping organizations move from simply identifying lifecycle exposure to taking proactive action.

Note: Customer action required!

• For Software Lifecycle Intelligence, update reports and widgets that use EOL Criticality to use EOL Severity.
• For Hardware Lifecycle Intelligence, update reports and widgets that use Last Obsolete Criticality to use Obsolete Severity.

The older fields remain available under the Deprecated section for backward compatibility but are planned for permanent removal in January. After removal, reports and widgets that still reference these old fields will stop working.

IT Visibility - TI Platform: Windows Catalog Alignment Update: Market Name Added to Software Reports

As part of ongoing catalog alignment efforts between ARL and Technopedia, Windows catalog entries have been standardized by removing version information from product names. This change supports a more consistent software catalog experience across Flexera solutions.

Customers whose reporting or integrations previously relied on product names for product-version identification may need to review these changes and utilize the updated catalog attributes and identification methods to ensure consistent reporting and data interpretation. To ensure and easily identify and analyze Windows versions, the Market Name field (also known as Version Group) is being added alongside Product Name in key Power BI software reports.

What's Changing?

The Market Name column will now be available next to Product Name, making it easier to:

• Identify Windows version
• Filter and segment software inventory
• Perform version-based reporting and analysis

Reporting Guidance:

The Market Name field is now available in both the Software Device and Software Version tables. If you are building a summary table or report for Device Operating System primarily using the Software Device table, we recommend using the Market Name from the Software Device table to ensure the names and counts remain aligned. 

Reports Updated

The following OOTB reports are enhanced:

• Comprehensive Software Inventory
• Software Portfolio Overview
• Operating System Insights
• Proactive SW EOL and Obsolescence Guidance
• Software Sprawl
• Version Update Planner
• Strategic SW Insights
• Software Procurement Guardian
• Business Service Insights
• Cloud Inventory Overview       
• Comprehensive Hardware Inventory
• Device Search
• Hardware Portfolio Overview
• Host and VM Relationship
• Proactive HW End of Sale and Obsolescence Guidance
• Software Vulnerability Insights

For Custom Reports

Customers using custom Power BI reports are encouraged to include the Market Name field in their report filters and visualizations to simplify version-level reporting.

Customer Impact

The Market Name field is already available within the data model. This enhancement simply makes it more visible within out-of-the-box reports, helping customers maintain version-level visibility following the catalog alignment changes.

Summary

The addition of Market Name to Power BI software reports ensures customers can continue to easily identify and report on Windows versions while benefiting from a more standardized catalog structure across Flexera solutions.

IT Visibility - TI Reporting: Restore Deleted Custom Reports – Live Now!

Recover deleted custom reports with confidence.

We’ve introduced the ability to restore deleted custom reports in TI Platform, helping users recover reports that were accidentally removed without having to recreate them from scratch.

Users with the Manage custom reports role can now access a Deleted Reports List from the Custom Reports page, review reports deleted within the last 30 days, and restore them when needed. Once restored, reports are returned to the regular Reports List and can be used again.

This enhancement improves report resiliency and user control, reducing the impact of accidental deletion and helping preserve the effort invested in building custom reports.

Key considerations:

• Deleted reports are recoverable for 30 days.
• Reports deleted beyond 30 days are permanently removed.
• Restoration requires the Manage custom reports role.
• If a report with the same name already exists, the restored report is automatically renamed with _restored.
• Restoration is processed asynchronously and may take some time depending on Power BI processing.

Value:

Users now have a simple recovery mechanism for accidental report deletion, reducing rework and providing greater confidence when managing custom reporting assets.

New in IT Visibility: Device Domain Visibility and Technopedia Subversion for Software Evidence

Available with IT Visibility

We're excited to share two enhancements that give you greater clarity and precision when working with device and software evidence data in IT Visibility.

 1. Domain column added to the Devices page

IT Visibility now displays the domain of a device on the Devices page (Inventory > IT Visibility Devices > Devices).

The Domain column is visible by default in the device list, and the Domain field appears on the Device Properties tab when you open a device.

Why this matters: IT Visibility identifies devices using a composite key of hostname, domain, and serial number. Two devices that share the same hostname but belong to different domains are stored as distinct records. The Domain column and field help you understand why devices with identical hostnames appear as separate records.

With this update, you can:

• View the domain of each device in the device list.
• Filter and sort the device list by domain.
• Search for devices by domain using the global search.
• Export device domain data in CSV format.

For more information, see Identifying Devices Using Evidence.

2. Technopedia Subversion field added to Software Evidence

IT Visibility now shows the Technopedia Subversion field in the following locations, along with their evidence detail pages:

• The Installer Evidence, File Evidence, and OS Evidence views on the Software Evidence page.
• The Software Evidence - Installer, Software Evidence - File, and Software Evidence - OS tabs on the Device Detail page.

Why this matters: The Technopedia Subversion field shows the subversion stage of a Technopedia release, for example

RC1,GA, or Beta. This helps you distinguish between releases that share the same version string but differ in release type, such as a Release Candidate versus a General Availability build.

Note: The Technopedia Subversion column is not visible by default. To show it, use the column chooser on the relevant tab.

With this update, you can:

• View the Technopedia Subversion for each evidence item on the Software Evidence page and the Device Detail page.
• Search for evidence by Technopedia Subversion using the global search.
• Export the Technopedia Subversion value in CSV downloads for all three evidence types.

For more information, see Identifying Applications Using Evidence and Identifying Devices Using Evidence.
