Manage Unidentified Software

Allows you to include or exclude unidentified software from the inventory scan.

Unidentified software has the following characteristics:

• It is installed on the inventoried server or inventoried workstation.
• It is configured in the Report files with these file extensions as unidentified software rule in Novell^® ZENworks^® software dictionary.
• It is not configured in the Software Dictionary table.

NOTE: The table might contain inherited rules. An inherited rule is an entry in the software dictionary which is obtained from another Inventory server through the dictionary distribution. You cannot edit or delete these rules. These rules are displayed in dark gray color if you are accessing the software dictionary of the Inventory server with ZENworks 6.5 SP1 or later installed.

You can also perform the following operations in this table:

• Sort entries
• Filter entries
• Refresh entries
