SW Metering Summary

Once Software Metering rules are configured and data is collected from agents, the Software Metering Summary page provides an aggregated view of application usage across devices. This view helps analyze how frequently applications are used, for how long, and across how many endpoints.

For each rule, the summary grid displays:

Rule Name	View only field, no actions can be taken	Name of the configured metering rule
Application Name	View only field, no actions can be taken	Tracked application under the rule
Usage Count	View only field, no actions can be taken	Total number of times the application was opened
Total Instance	View only field, no actions can be taken	Number of devices on which the application was used
Duration	View only field, no actions can be taken	Total usage time aggregated across all devices
