Action1 5 Documentation 5 Software Inventory

Software Inventory

Action1 facilitates IT software inventory management by providing comprehensive, real-time reports. They offer both overview data (such as the “Installed Software” report) as well as reports that focus on specific categories, including Cloud Storage Apps and Instant Messengers.
To view them, navigate to Real-Time Reports & Alerts | Built-in Reports | IT Asset Management | Software Inventory.

Installed Software Report

This report highlights all apps installed on your managed endpoints.

  • In the default view (with collapsed details), you’ll get a complete list of apps along with the number of endpoints on which each app is installed.
  • With Expand details set to Yes, or after clicking on the application name (or number of endpoints under Details), the report reveals additional information, including endpoint names, application version, vendor, installation date, installation location, package type, installation type (EXE, MSI, etc.), and the account for which this app was installed.
