Quest reviews its extensive data warehouse and automatically adds new applications to the Software Catalog as needed. If an application does not yet appear in the catalog, however, you can send a cataloging request to the Quest catalog team for consideration.

A cataloging request is a form you can submit to request that an application that is not included in the Software Catalog (Uncataloged) be added to the public Software Catalog. When Quest receives a cataloging request, that request is evaluated to determine whether or not the application should become part of the public Software Catalog. In addition, applications are automatically added to the local version of the Software Catalog on the appliance when cataloging requests are submitted.

As an alternative, if you have applications that are internal to your organization, and you do not want those applications to be added to the public Software Catalog, you can add them to your local version of the Software Catalog. See Submit cataloging requests.

Submitting cataloging requests automatically adds applications to the local Software Catalog

Submitting cataloging requests automatically adds applications to the local Software Catalog

When you submit a cataloging request for an application, the application is automatically and immediately added to the local version of the Software Catalog on your appliance.

The application then becomes Locally Cataloged, and it can be metered, marked as Not Allowed, and associated with License assets.

If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, you can submit cataloging requests from any organization, and the title is added to your local appliance Software Catalog immediately. It is available to all of your organizations.

* 
IMPORTANT: Cataloging requests can be submitted only if data retention for Uncataloged applications is enabled for the organization. See Configure Admin-level or organization-specific General Settings.
