For expanded discussions about what can be seen in each Application Discovery data view, see the Application Discovery help reference in the software.

Adjusting the user interface

You can alter several visual and behavioral aspects of the Application Discovery user interface for the duration of your user session. Application Discovery does not store these changes as user preferences.

To take advantage of these settings, select the following tabs: Admin/Config, then UI. The following figure shows the controls available from the UI tab.

Set screen data refresh interval

Application Discovery can automatically refresh data to the interface screens at variable intervals. You can select the interval you prefer, or you can turn the refresh interval off. The default refresh interval is 20 minutes.

To change the refresh interval, use the “Refresh interval” drop-down to select the setting that you prefer.

Your selection is applied automatically and immediately.

Screen refresh when clicking tabs or links:

Screens with long lists of systems, applications, or packages take more time to refresh. If a screen appears to be empty when you first click to it, please wait a few seconds for the refresh to complete.

Set general visibility

First and foremost, visibility of systems and applications depends on the permissions a user has for each managed system and application. Users can see only those systems and applications in Application Discovery tables that they already have permission to access or view.
