Data Manager - Software (object class)
Assets Data Manager is available as a standard feature to all users of Assets.
If you find a bug or have questions, please reach out to Atlassian Support or the Atlassian Community.
The Software Object Class is a default object class that is included in Assets Data Manager out-of-the-box.
The Software Object Class is designed to store one row for each product running in the organization. For example: Microsoft Windows 10 and Microsoft Windows 11 would require a row each.
Types of software included may include:
Commercial off-the-shelf
Open Source
Beta
Internally built products
Default Attributes
The Software object class includes the following default attributes:
These default attributes were selected based on the most common attributes relevant for cross-comparative analysis. There may be additional attributes that are specific to individual sources only (e.g. Review status and Usage status.)
We recommend managing those directly in the source system (e.g., a Software schema) to prevent the Data Manager from overwriting their values. Where statuses from different tools need to be compared, we recommend using an additional status column.
