This page explains how to explore the software installed on your organization's devices, including creating custom and advanced filter views, managing views and exporting views.
From creating personalized custom views to sorting software data by multiple columns, and even implementing advanced filter views, Lansweeper's software management can do it all.
In this article, we'll go over the various features that you can use to view and manage software assets efficiently:
Create a custom view
Organize your software overview to best suit your unique environment by creating custom views. Custom views allow you to create a personalized view of your data by displaying the information you require in the format your desire.
- In Software, select Customize view.
- Under Fixed columns, toggle the fixed columns that you want to display On or Off. Select and hold the column to reorder it.
- Under Scrollable columns, hover over a column and select X to remove it, or select and hold the column to reorder it.
- Under Available columns, use the search to find the column you want to add, then click to add it to your custom view.
- Select Apply.
- If you're happy with the view, select Unsaved View > Save view and configurations. If you'd like to revert to the previous view, select Restore the default value.
- Enter a name for your view. You can also add a description.
- Select Save.
Your view is added to Software > Custom views.
Sort by multiple columns
