AppDNA provides an application list from which you manage your application portfolio. For example, you can view the list of applications, view application attributes, analyze the application DNA against selected reports, and use the Report Viewer. You can also delete applications from the portfolio and edit an application's name, manufacturer and version number.
You can also sort, group, and filter the application list for analysis and reporting. These features are especially useful if you have a large portfolio.
To open the Application List, click Applications in the AppDNA side bar.

Add - Add a new application, or application placeholder or "stub". Creates a new application record in AppDNA, against which you can collect and track information using properties, attributes, and attachments, without the requirement to import the application immediately.
Delete - Deletes selected applications from the AppDNA application portfolio. This does not delete the desktop application fingerprints. This means that if you delete a licensed desktop application and then import it again, it will reuse the same license.
Export Filter - Saves a filter to an XML file for reuse. See Filter applications for more information about setting up, clearing, saving, and importing filters.
Import filter - Imports a previously saved filter and immediately filters the list of applications according to the criteria in the saved filter.
Report type - Use this drop-down list to select a report to view.
View report - Click to view the selected report for the selected items. (An application must be analyzed before you can see meaningful data for it in the reports.)
Analyze - Click to analyze the selected applications. See Analyze applications for more information.
Group - Use this drop-down list to select the applications in a particular group, all of the applications in the list, or to deselect all of the applications in the list.
