Viewing Usage Information for Project Inventory

Inventory usage information is important because it aids users in determining how closely to monitor inventory items for intellectual property (IP) and security risk and in taking appropriate action to approve or reject inventory, create tasks for remediation, and issue alerts and notifications. Usage fields can determine whether the item should be included in Third-Party Notices and what steps need to be taken to satisfy license obligations and conditions of use. They can also help to identify license conflicts and compatibility issues.

To view inventory usage information, do the following:

1.

Open the Project Inventory tab for the desired project (see Displaying Project Inventory).

2.

Click an inventory item from the Inventory Items list.

3.

From the Project Inventory Details Pane on the right, select the Usage tab in the inventory details. For details about the inventory usage fields and how they are used, see Inventory Usage Information.
