Introduction to Workspaces

License Manager consists of seven different workspaces. Each workspace is associated with a particular process or group of tasks.

  • The Dashboards workspace contains a series of interactive charts. The charts provide a graphical representation of your organization's compliance status, metrics and other data.
  • The Reports workspace is used to produce different reports on the data held in an organization's License Manager Database.
  • The Licenses workspace is used to record and maintain license evidence, including Enterprise Agreements and review the organization's aggregated license rights.
  • The Contracts workspace is used to record and maintain most contract agreements. Note: this workspace is activated in the Application Settings. See also: Choosing Application Settings.
  • The Assets workspace is used to import asset and install data from an asset inventory solution. This allows you to manage the software for your assets, users and virtual environments, before the software usage data is committed to the compliance workspace.
  • The Data Cleanse workspace is used to cleanse the software installation data imported in the assets workspace and ensure the software is identified correctly across the devices in your organization. Note: this workspace is activated in the Application Settings. See also: Choosing Application Settings.
  • The Compliance workspace allows you to manage the allocation of license entitlement to software installed within the organization.
  • The Dictionaries workspace is used to maintain the terms used in License Manager.
