The "Views" Section of the SXSi Console offers a generic dashboard and statistical views specific to software management.
This view is a graphical representation of the content of treeviews located on the left upper pane of the window. The "Summary" view provides you at any time with a proportional idea of the Objects according to one or more criteria.
![]() | To use this view, you just need to select a node in a treeview. This node must contain sub-nodes. The resulting graph highlights the distribution of the PCs according to the different values found on the sub-node. |
Example: you created a tree called "Warranties" that classifies PCs by year, then by end of warranty month, and finally by CPU speed.
Place the cursor on the "Warranties" tree and select a year. You should see a graph representing the park's replacement schedule for the next months. If you place the cursor on a specific month, you should see a view by CPU of the PCs that will reach the end of warranty date during the selected month.
![]() | No summary is displayed when you select: all nodes, the last node of a branch, the main node of a tree that does not contain sub-nodes, a node whose sub-nodes do not contain any Objects, a single Object, or when a multiple selection is made in the trees. |
![]() | The checkbox "Into "Others" if < nn %" can be used to insert in the "Other" series of the graph all occurrences below nn%. |
This view is a graphical representation of the file extensions found in the audited machines. You can display statistics based on the number of files (count) or on the space each file type occupies on the disk.
Three views provide statistical information on the software.
The first two, "Software Windows" and "Software EXE" are trend indicators, while the third view is a dashboard representing the real status of the software you have chosen to manage.
![]() | Software Windows - This view emphasizes the software that has been registered at Windows level during installation. In other words, all the software that has left traces in the "Add/Remove Programs" window of the Windows Control Panel. This information is not fully reliable, since not all software Publishers register their programs in Windows (see Software Recognition for more information). The "Software Windows" view is, nevertheless, a practical tool to get an idea of the programs that are used within a company. |
![]() | Software EXE - This view is much more reliable than the previous one because it lists all the executable files by software Publisher and Product. Be careful, however, to be sure to understand on which basis this information is made. (See Software Recognition for more information) |
![]() | Software tracking - this view displays the software you have decided to manage, as well as the quantitative aspects linked to their distribution. |
![]() | Click on "Refresh" to update the software list displayed on the screen |
![]() | Click on any software included in the centre part of the list to display its distribution |
![]() | Double click on any configuration found on the right pane to display its details |
