* **[Filter software results using an encoded query in TLM](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/RfY8MvekayNSjoMd3MAsOw)**   
  Filter out unwanted software products and reduce the number of results to skip unwanted software and their lifecycles to be shown in the Lifecycle Timeline view of a business application. By default, the TLM picks licensable software. Use this encoded query when you want TLM to include other software (non-licensable) and filter the result.
* **[Update TLM data for a business application or application service](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/F8_lel~A4Xi1p_HVNNa7ew)**   
  Manually update the Technology Lifecycle Management (TLM) lifecycle data for software and hardware models in your business applications and application services.
* **[Restart the TLM Discovered Technologies and Lifecycles job](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/L56BZlQv1pLD8emMq99Njg)**   
  You can restart the Restart TPM Discovered Technologies and Lifecycles job if it encounters any interruptions or failures.
* **[View technology lifecycle details](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/kVHHnR7gr0zKgwEKsFQnkQ)**   
  View Technology Lifecycle Management (TLM) lifecycle timelines in Enterprise Architecture Workspace to track product's lifecycle phases.
* **[View TLM risk details](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/9Y1reO8yVV5p9jyUxNXmSg)**   
  View all the Technology Lifecycle Management (TLM) risk data for software products that are facing high and moderate technology risks.
* **[Update the system property to gather software products from a CMDB table](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/HW_WlhOD6YWRf~fwwAjSDQ)**   
  You can optionally customize the default values of the sn_apm_tpm.configurationItemsWithSoftwareInstalls system property, to capture the details of Technology Lifecycle Management (TLM) software products that aren't stored in the default CMDB tables, Computer (CMDB_CI_Computer) and all similar instances of the table, Docker Container (CMDB_CI_Docker_Container), and Serverless Hardwares (CMDB_CI_Serverless_Hardware).
* **[View technology portfolio audit risk details](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/ShXulOxJgVyYQut6Od6ZKw)**   
  You can view all your technology portfolio details in the Enterprise Architecture Workspace.
* **[View TLM logs](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/YSJrblDjvDnU_iTPrOH_3Q)**   
  Track the progress of Technology Lifecycle Management (TLM) analysis by examining the TPM Discovered Technology Run Logs \[sn_apm_tpm_discovered_technology_run_log\] table. Each time the analysis is run, an entry is added to this table.
* **[Run a scheduled job to populate Technology Lifecycle Management lifecycle record identifier](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/YRC713Beo3jWB1K7x4uKSg)**   
  Run the Populate Number field in TPM Discovered Technologies job to populate missing Technology Lifecycle Management (TLM) lifecycle record identifiers.
* **[Run a scheduled job to generate TLM lifecycle data](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/C5QeY0AB7NZvshLBJFDssg)**   
  Run a scheduled job to fetch the technology lifecycle data for your technology portfolio.
* **[Schedule a job to generate TLM technology risk](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/mRGBnzYShWxvvsbslmWhkg)**   
  Execute the Populate Technology Lifecycle Risks scheduled job to generate the TLM technology lifecycle risks and populate the result in the TLM Technology Lifecycle Risks \[sn_apm_tpm_technology_risk\] table.
