I noted in the Ideas Portal that there are several Ideas raised to have some sort of SKU search functionality added to the licensing interface. An update in February suggested this was being investigated as to how and when it could be implemented.
Is there any progress on this? Our team spend a lot of time either trying to find SKU's or manually entering all the licence use terms for SKUs which aren't provided by the vendor so it would save us a lot of effort.
Regards
Andy

Is the number of installations included in any of the CSV files from the IT Visibility data export? I've been using power query to pull data out but can't find installation count in either the current or beta exports packs. Am I missing something obvious or is the only way to get this to add some sort of count in power query against the software inventory files (which I have no clue how to do yet). Thanks Andy

Hi Chris, thanks for the reply, can you confirm if this is on the roadmap or if I should raise an enhancement request to give it a little more visibility? Thanks Andy

Hi,
Our organisation operates in a number of markets who each manage their own software deployments.
We're using both FNMS and IT Visibility to manage the estate and need to provide views of the data split by market. This is no issue with FNMS as it's location aware but is the same functionality available in IT Visibility?
I've been digging around in IT Visibility but can't fine any filters or settings which would suggest it can use location data. Can someone with more knowledge could point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Andy

Just had a look at the installed applications solution - and I'm not sure thats going to cover whats needed and is the reason I went looking at custom reports in the first place. The 2 applications I'm using to test this have 9 and 16 different versions/editions installed in our estate and multiple versions can be installed on each machine. I want a report which will show all versions and all assets where it's installed. To achieve this with the Installed Applications report I'd need to run multiple reports and merge them together. Are there any built in reports which are able to achieve this in a single report without needing to go down the custom report path which doesn't work without producing a report per product? thanks Andy

Chris, Thanks for your reply and confirming that the limit applies to both lines returned and lines searched. Just wanted to make sure I wasn;t missing anything. Will follow your advice and look at the alternatives. Andy

I'd like to set up a custom report so that colleagues in our SAM team can search for software installations and return all the data we commonly need without the need for me to create a report each time. We work across multiple markets so the plan is to split by market and initially set up to look at the desktop estate. We're using the cloud hosted version of FNMS so are limited to 1,000,000 lines on a report which is causing issues as our estate is a reasonable size. I've set up a custom report with filters that returns data for the UK which have desktop OS's with the idea that users would then put in the product they're interested in in the search box and run the report. Unfortunately even though the output from such a search is far smaller than 1,000,000 lines (the test product appears on 27 assets) it still doesn't return any data. I know the product exists in the data set its looking at as I can add an additional filter in report builder for the product and it returns OK. From what I can tell not only is there a limit on the number of rows which can be returned, there is also a limit on the number of rows searched? Is there any way round this for cloud hosted FNMS? If I can't find a way to produce this type of report I will have to create a new custom report every time we want to extract data for a specific product. Any ideas? aka, what am I missing and am I being an idiot somewhere? 😁 Andy

Hi, We've been looking to match data exported from FNMS to import into our CMDB which takes feeds from a number of other systems. While creating the reports we've found a few issues with matching by the inventory device name. The main issue is the fact that the value returned doesn't always match with what we expect - the majority of the time it does return the server name but in some cases it returns the nickname (we've mainly noticed this issue on Windows servers). Please can someone confirm how the Inventory Device Name is retrieved and if it's possible to return all names that the server is know by internally & externally so we can reliably match it up to data from other sources? The second issue I've found is that I was originally using "Installations - Inventory Device Name", while investigating the nickname issue I ran a simple report with Inventory Device name from both the Installations and Inventory Device tables. When comparing the two lists there are approximately 6% of servers listed in Inventory Device which don't appear in the Installations version of the same list. Does anyone know why this mismatch comes about and how we might be able to resolve the issue? We need to be able to trust the data which comes out in reports so we need to know that the fields from alternative tables will return a full set of data and not require additional work to ensure completeness. Thanks Andy

Hi, I've having an issue with some version numbers which contain colons instead of a decimal. These are causing issues as we currently have to download in CSV format (XLSXdownload issue on our side not Flexera). When opening the files in Excel, because of the colon its converting all of these into time format instead of a decimal. I ran a quick report with just Product Name and Product Version in and there are 243 products which have the issue - does anyone know if this is by design or if its an oversight which should be corrected? Thanks Andy
