Getting Started With SBOM Management

Today’s software applications are made up of many components that do not originate with the organization that created the application. These include open-source, third-party, and commercial software components that make up ingredients in an application that are not part of the application’s proprietary code.

Flexera SBOM Management is a SaaS solution that helps companies maintain a complete, accurate Software Bill of Materials (SBOM). This cloud inventory management solution aggregates the SBOM over multiple products and sources and provides full visibility of all product ingredients to security and legal teams as well as supply chain partners.

Managing Information Grids in the SBOM Management

For any information grid used in SBOM Management (such as the Buckets, Manage SBOM Parts, Select Component, and other grids), you can reorganize the grid based to focus on desired data. Use the following grid controls.

Action	Description
Sort list alphabetically (or numerically) by column	For a sortable column, simply click within the column header to toggle the sort in ascending or descending order. An up or down arrow is displayed in the header to let you know the direction of the sorting.
Hide/redisplay columns	Click the Columns icon in the top right corner of the list to open a column-control pane. From here, clear or select check boxes to hide or redisplay individual columns (respectively). Alternatively, use the single check box next to the Search box to display or hide all columns. (When you have a large list of columns, you can use this method to then select or clear the check boxes for the individual columns that are the exceptions.) You can also search for columns whose visibility you want to manage.
Switch a column location	Drag the header of a column to the new column location.
Pin or autosize columns	The following functions enable you to autosize columns or pin a column to either side of the grid. You access these functions by clicking the icon, which appears when you hover over the right side of a column header. Not all grids have this icon available in their column headers.
Pin a column to the right or left side of the list	Select the appropriate Pin Column option: Pin Left , Pin Right , No Pin . Multiple columns can be pinned. A pinned column remains anchored as you scroll. If you switch a pinned column to another location, its Pin Column value is automatically changed to No Pin .
Autosize a column to width of its longest value	Select Autosize This Column .
Autosize all columns to the width of their longest value	Select Autosize All Columns .
Reset columns to original sizes	Select Reset Columns .
Move between pages	Use the page controls at the bottom of each list page.
