Option to group software inventory by package
-
Hi on the software inventory tab at the container level, would it be possible to add an option to switch the grouping from node to package? So instead of seeing a list of nodes that you expand to see the contained software packages, you could see a list of software packages that you expand to see the nodes that have that software on it?
I also notice, that when you use the filter at the top of the tab, it seems inconsistent as to whether it will expand a node containing the software filtered for or not. eg: typing 'edge' might expand some nodes but not others.
Would it be possible to consistently expand all nodes that contain a filtered software? Or maybe as another feature request, have an 'expand all' 'collapse all' toggle/button at the top right to open all nodes up?
Cheers.

For expansion - I've registered a ticked to add expand/collapse buttons: https://track.radensolutions.com/issue/NX-2745
Grouping by software package looks cumbersome - e.g. some software packages tend to have version number in the name, e.g. jdk-17... and jdk-21..., could be desirable to join them somehow... So unless it's a sponsored development we don't have resources available to go into this.
But, to mention, software package information is accessible from NXSL, so it might be that for some usecases you can just script something.

ah yes, I see that would complicate things a lot. fair point with NXSL.

Thanks, that would basically remove the need for grouping by software (the idea was to click once to expand rather than hunting through all nodes clicking).
So if you 1) filter up the top then 2) expand all, you can then 3) quickly export without too much clicking on each node.
