The concurrent use table in NetMan Desktop Manager is specifically intended for calculating application license usage. In general, this is a table that shows parallel usage. Specifically, the data it delivers can help you regulate licensing in your NetMan Desktop Manager system so that you have enough licenses to cover your requirements, but not too many. For details on calculating a table, see "Calculate Data". This chapter gives you an overview of the functions in the table of concurrent use. After calculation of a concurrent use table, the display contains the following:
A. Menu bar. In the menu bar you can select optional functions such as Views or Reports, or open the Settings program. For a description of the menu bar, see "Statistics".
B. Task bar. The task bar gives you access to all commands available for use with the main table.
C. Column header. The column headers let you sort the data records by the contents of the columns, in either ascending or descending order. Simply click on the header of a given column to sort the data by the content of that column.
D. Table selection. Here you can select which table is displayed. You can use the chosen data records to calculate a main table, a cross table or a table of concurrent use.
E. Table. The table shows all calculated data records. You can open a Detail view for any data record in the table to see all of the data contained in that record. For details on using this function, see "Data Record Details".
