Assigning an additional metric to a product
Available from 9.2.8. The pricing calculations are based on the
relation between a product and a metric. The software catalog consists of an inventory of standard
relations. To define a custom relation, assign one of available metrics to an existing product.
Before you begin
You must have the View Software Catalog and Signatures and Manage Licenses permissions to
perform this task.About this task
You can assign one of available metrics to a product from the software catalog, and thus, define a custom relation. You cannot duplicate an existing relation. You can only assign a metric that is not yet assigned to a certain product. The custom relation can be used while classifying your software inventory. It allows you to make your pricing calculations accurate and tailor-made.
Note: If you use BigFix Inventory version 9.2.8 or
higher, go to Software Catalog report to define a custom relation. Starting from application update
9.2.14, the Software Catalog report is renamed to Products & Metrics report.
