Access Software Dictionary
Allows you to view the software dictionary entries. You can also use this table to add, modify, and delete the entries in the software dictionary.

A software can be identified by more than one key identifier. The Access Software Dictionary option allows you to determine the key identifier whose information should be selected for a software.

To configure the table:

  1. Click Edit Table.
  2. In the Configure Software Dictionary table, click Insert to add a new row.
  3. Specify a filename.
  4. Click OK.

For more information on how to work with the Configure Software Dictionary table, see Configure Software Dictionary.

For example, the Configure Dictionary table has the following entries for MS Word:

Filename

File Timestamp
