Capabilities

With the intuitive design, the license dashboard is easy to navigate, making it accessible to users. The interface is designed to present complex data in a clear and concise manner, facilitating quick decision-making.

  • Integration capabilities: The dashboard seamlessly integrates with existing Automation 360 platform allowing for the consolidation of data and providing a comprehensive view of license usage across the Control Room. This integration ensures that users have access to the most current and accurate data for decision-making.

    For example, based on number of logins to the Control Room, the Bot creator usage widget shows top 5 bot creators. Also, you can view the overall license usage in and across Control Room using the License utilization widget.

  • Actionable insights: The dashboard provides actionable insights based on the analysis of license usage patterns. These insights help decision-makers to optimize license procurement and allocation, ensuring that resources are utilized efficiently and cost-effectively.

    For example, if you want to view license usage details for Unattended license type with Low usage category, you can use the Usage distribution widget.

  • Comprehensive reporting: Users can generate detailed reports that summarize license usage patterns, trends, and insights. These reports can be customized to include specific metrics and time frames, exporting valuable information into a CSV file for audits, strategic planning, and performance evaluations.

    For example, after generating license details using the Usage distribution widget, you can drill down into the usage type and use the Export items to CSV option to export all or filtered items (license details).

  • Real-time updates: The dashboard provides real-time data updates, ensuring that you always have access to the latest information regarding license usage. This feature is crucial for making timely decisions and adjustments to license management strategies.

    For example, if you want to generate license usage data on 3rd February for last 30 days, the dashboard shows data for last 30 days excluding present day that is till 2nd February only.

  • Trend analysis: This feature allows proactive management of licenses, preventing over or under utilization of licenses, and ensuring compliance with licensing agreements.
    For example, if a bot starts on 2nd February and ends on 3rd February, the duration of the bot is logged for 3rd February.
    Note: If a bot does not have an end date, that bot will not be considered in trend analysis.
