Workstations

To see which workstations report to Product Discovery and what is installed on each, open the Workstations tab. It lists one row per workstation that has reported at least one scan.

Find a workstation

The following screenshot shows the Workstations tab with the grid of reporting workstations:

The Workstations tab, sorted by the most recent scan.

The following table lists the columns of the grid:

Column	Meaning
Hostname	The workstation's host name.
Primary User	The workstation's primary user.
IP Address	The last known IP address.
App Count	How many active applications the workstation has.
Agent Version	The version of the Workstation Agent installed there.
Last Scan Date	When the workstation last reported a scan.

The grid opens sorted by Last Scan Date, newest first, so machines that recently reported are at the top and machines that have gone quiet sink to the bottom. Use this order to spot stale agents. To find a workstation, use Search. To reload the list, select Refresh.

Workstation detail

To see the software on a workstation, select its row to open the detail panel beside the grid. In the panel, open Installed Applications to see installed software, or Scan History to see scan results.

Installed Applications

The following screenshot shows the applications installed on the selected workstation:

The Installed Applications tab for a selected workstation.

The tab has one row per application installed on that workstation. The following table lists its columns:

Column	Meaning
Product	The application's name.
Publisher	The software publisher.
Version	The installed version.
Install Path	Where the application is installed.
Status	Matched to a SAM Catalog entry, or Unmatched.
First Discovered	When the installation first appeared in a scan.
Last Seen	The most recent scan that still reported it.

Scan History

The following screenshot shows how each recent scan changed the inventory:

The Scan History tab shows how each scan changed the inventory.

The tab lists the most recent scans for the workstation, newest first. The following table lists its columns:

Column	Meaning
Scan Date	When the scan was processed.
Received	How many applications the agent reported.
After Filter	How many remained after the exclusion rules dropped the noise.
Added	New installations this scan introduced.
Removed	Installations this scan retired.
Duration (ms)	Processing time.
Status	The scan's processing outcome, for example Completed.

The difference between Received and After Filter shows how many reported applications the exclusion rules dropped. Much of what an agent reports on a Windows machine is operating-system components and update packages that never reach the inventory.

To close the panel, select the row's radio button again or select anywhere outside the grid.

Export the list

To export the workstations list, select Export CSV. The file has the columns Hostname, Primary User, IP Address, App Count, Last Scan Date, and Agent Version. The export respects the current search term and covers the full filtered list: every page, not only the one on screen.
