The Application Types Tab

Note You can only edit User SAI files.

ClosedViewing Data in the Application Type Tab

The Application Type tab shows a view of the different types of software application categories you allocate to entries in the SAI files. Examples of these categories are:

  • Database
  • Developer Tools
  • Word Processing
  • Web Servers

These entries are pre-populated by Hewlett Packard Enterprise. However, you can add new items to this tab for your User SAI.

The following information is shown for each entry in this tab:

  • Application Type—the category of software
  • ID—the unique identifier for this application type entry. The application type IDs supplied in the master SAI correspond to UNSPSC standard codes for these application types.

This column is only visible if the Show ID Column option was enabled in the SAI Editor Options dialog. See Setting Properties for the SAI Editor for more information.
