The Overview module is a homepage that displays charts and graphs to help you manage
software assets in the organization.  
To use the Overview module for the legacy Software Asset Management (com.snc.software_asset_management) plugin, navigate to Software Asset ManagementOverview. Click an element within a report to see more information or add and move widgets as needed.Figure 1. Legacy Software Asset Management plugin Overview module

The overview shows the following compliance types:

* Immediate Compliance: number of licenses that should be purchased in order to be compliant immediately. Compliance is based on grouping. When tracking software licenses at a high level without any grouping, you are more likely to be compliant. With grouping, you are more likely to be out of compliance. For example, if grouping regionally by location, your organization can be globally compliant, but regionally non-compliant.
* Planned Compliance: based on the number of licenses you plan to allocate and the number installed.

The graphs show important statistics about the software being tracked, including software that
has been entitled but is not being used and the total number of unallocated licenses.
