View Software Items

You can view and operate on the software items.

  1. Launch the Connected Software app.
    This allows you to view the list of Software Logical Items and Physical Products. When you start the Connected Software application, you see a list of important software items. Important software items are ones you created, versioned, or added to the page. You can add a software item to the page by searching for the object and dragging it to the page.
  2. Select objects to view. From the context menu, you can select a number of actions, such as: opening the version, viewing the revision through the revision explorer, creating a new version, deleting a version, or changing the maturity of a version.

You can view or modify software items.

Note: Because software items can have dynamic content, and some maturity states require static versions, there are some complexities around changing the maturity state for a dynamic software item to a state that does not support dynamic content. For more information, see Understanding the Resolution of Dynamic Content when the Software Item is Promoted.
