Graphical user interfaces for software asset management

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• generating, by a server device, a representation of a first graphical user interface, wherein the server device is associated with a computational instance of a remote network management platform, wherein the computational instance is associated with a managed network, wherein the computational instance comprises a database containing:
• (i) indications of software applications installed on computing devices of the managed network, and (ii) indications of software models that respectively define publisher, product, and licensing information related to the software applications, wherein the first graphical user interface includes a card-based view of publishers defined by the software models, wherein each card in the card-based view displays a true-up amount, an overage amount, and a potential savings for software applications respectively associated with one of the publishers;
• transmitting, by the server device and to a client device associated with the managed network, the representation of the first graphical user interface;
• receiving, by the server device and from the client device, a selection of a particular card of the card-based view, wherein the particular card is associated with a particular publisher, and wherein the particular publisher is associated with a particular set of the software applications that are respectively defined by a particular set of the software models;
• based on the particular set of the software applications and the particular set of the software models, generating, by the server device, a representation of a second graphical user interface, wherein the second graphical user interface includes a list-based view that specifies in line items, for each of the particular set of the software applications:
• (i) respective product information, (ii) a respective status indicator that identifies whether installations of the respective software application comply with licensing information related to the respective software application, (iii) a respective true-up amount related to the respective software application, (iv) a respective overage amount related to the respective software application, and (v) a respective potential savings related to the respective software application;
• and
• transmitting, by the server device and to the client device, the representation of the second graphical user interface.

An article of manufacture including a non-transitory computer-readable medium, having stored thereon program instructions that, upon execution by a server device disposed within a particular computational instance of a remote network management platform, cause the server device to perform operations comprising:

• generating a representation of a first graphical user interface, wherein the computational instance comprises a database containing:
• (i) indications of software applications installed on computing devices of the managed network, and (ii) indications of software models that respectively define publisher, product, and licensing information related to the software applications, wherein the first graphical user interface includes a card-based view of publishers defined by the software models, wherein each card in the card-based view displays a true-up amount, an overage amount, and a potential savings for software applications respectively associated with one of the publishers,
• transmitting, to a client device associated with the managed network, the representation of the first graphical user interface;
• receiving, from the client device, a selection of a particular card of the card-based view, wherein the particular card is associated with a particular publisher, and wherein the particular publisher is associated with a particular set of the software applications that are respectively defined by a particular set of the software models;
• based on the particular set of the software applications and the particular set of the software models, generating a representation of a second graphical user interface, wherein the second graphical user interface includes a list-based view that specifies in line items, for each of the particular set of the software applications:
• (i) respective product information, (ii) a respective status indicator that identifies whether installations of the respective software application comply with licensing information related to the respective software application, (iii) a respective true-up amount related to the respective software application, (iv) a respective overage amount related to the respective software application, and (v) a respective potential savings related to the respective software application;
• and
• transmitting, to the client device, the representation of the second graphical user interface.
