Add custom data fields
You can add custom data fields for applications added manually from the Software list.
Adding custom data fields enables you to obtain information from the registry and elsewhere on the device. This information can be viewed on the device detail page and used in reports.
For example, you might want to add custom fields to obtain the DAT file version number from the registry, the file created date, the file publisher, or other data for a device. You could then create labels based on this information to group similar devices, or create reports using this information.

Schedule inventory data collection for managed devices
The appliance collects hardware and software inventory data from Agent-managed and Agentless devices according to the K1000 data collection schedule you set.
For Agent-managed devices, software inventory information is available on both the Software and Software Catalog pages. For more information about these pages, see Differences between the Software page and the Software Catalog page.
For Agentless devices, software information is listed only on the Software page. See Managing applications on the Software page.
If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, you schedule inventory data collection for each organization separately.
The Organization Detail page appears.
The Communication Settings page appears.
