Description

To populate the SaaS overview pages with data, you need inventory sources. To get accurate statistics and insights, you must add cost periods.

Add inventory sources

To get information on subscriptions, applications and activity into the SaaS overview pages in, you need inventory sources.

  • Snow Integration Connector for SaaS

    The connector imports information on subscriptions, application use, and user activity from the respective service provider. Not all connectors can provide activity data. See Snow Integration Connector for SaaS for more information and configuration.

Add cost periods

To get accurate statistics and insights in the SaaS overview pages, you must add cost periods.

The information imported from SaaS providers covers the total number of subscriptions and the number of subscriptions that have been assigned to users. However, there is no information about the costs for the subscriptions from the service providers. Therefore, the cost periods must be added manually to provide accurate statistics and charts. Refer to Manage cost periods in SaaS overview on how to add and delete cost periods.
