* **Percentage of Unused Subscriptions:** Shows the proportion of subscriptions not meeting usage criteria based on reclamation rules, calculated from stale rights.
* **SaaS Potential Savings:** Estimates cost savings achievable by reclaiming unused subscriptions.
* **Assigned Subscriptions:** Counts total assigned subscriptions across your organization.
* **True-up Cost:** Indicates additional cost required to align owned rights with assigned rights, ensuring full payment for usage.
* **Actual Savings Year-to-Date:** Tracks cumulative savings from completed reclamations within the year.
* **Snapshot of Last Meaningful Activity:** Categorizes users based on recent subscription activity to help set thresholds for reclamation rules.
* **Stale Subscriptions by Instance:** Breaks down the number of inactive subscriptions per subscription profile, with filters for SaaS, SSO, or both.
* **Subscription Spend by Cost Center:** Displays subscription costs distributed by organizational cost centers.
* **Potential SaaS Savings by Instance:** Shows potential savings per subscription profile, with filtering options similar to stale subscriptions.

To maximize the value of the dashboard, customers can undertake tasks such as reviewing reclamation rules, associating users with subscription records, managing integration profiles for multiple SaaS and SSO providers, and disconnecting unused SSO apps.  
Optimize how much your organization spends on SaaS and SSO licensing by
analyzing the subscription usage, cost, and compliance of your SaaS applications
and SSO providers using the SaaS Overview dashboard.  
Important:  
The SaaS Overview dashboard is available in both the Software Asset Management classic application and the Software Asset Workspace. This topic provides information on the SaaS Overview dashboard in the Software Asset Management classic application. For information on the SaaS Overview dashboard in the Software Asset Workspace, see [SaaS overview dashboard in workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/p7QtOBZcE2IJrhOFT_qKyA "View all SaaS related analytics for pure SaaS, Microsoft Office 365, and Adobe Cloud in the SaaS overview dashboard in the Software asset analytics view.").  
The Engineering License Overview dashboard is no longer available for new Australia users who have activated the Software Asset Management Professional (com.snc.samp) plugin or upgraded to Australia without activating the Software Asset Management Professional (com.snc.samp) plugin prior to Australia.

* If you activated the Software Asset Management Professional (com.snc.samp) plugin prior to Australia but didn't activate the Workspace plugin (com.sn_sam_workspace), you have access to this dashboard.
* If you activated the Software Asset Workspace (sn_sam_workspace) store application after upgrading to Zurich, you won't be able to access this dashboard from the Software Asset navigation menu in your instance. You can however access this dashboard from the Dashboards navigation menu.

| Report | Description |
|-|-|
| Current Subscription Spend | Total cost of all active subscription software entitlements. |
| Percentage of Unused Subscriptions | Percentage of subscriptions that don't meet the usage requirements that are defined by reclamation rules. This percentage is calculated as the number of stale rights (subscriptions that have limited to no activity within the activity threshold that is defined in the reclamation rule) divided by the total number of assigned rights. |
| SaaS Potential Savings | Potential cost saved if you reclaim unused subscriptions. |
| Assigned Subscriptions | Total number of assigned subscriptions. |
| True-up Cost | Cost to have the number of rights you own match the number of rights you've assigned to users. This metric helps to verify that your organization is paying for all the rights that your organization is using. |
| Actual Savings Year-to-Date | Total yearly savings for all subscription software. This value is calculated as the total savings from closed complete reclamation candidates. |
| Snapshot of Last Meaningful Activity | Distribution of users based on their subscription software usage behavior. Use this data to identify the users with the highest software usage and determine the most appropriate threshold for your software reclamation rules. This report displays the data for the last 30 days, 30--60 days, 60--90 days, and 90--120 days. |
| Stale Subscriptions by Instance | Total number of stale subscriptions for each subscription profile. If you have multiple profiles for the same subscription software, this report displays each profile separately. You can filter the data that is displayed on this report by selecting an option from the Breakdown list. To view the stale subscriptions for both SaaS and SSO subscription profiles, select All Subscriptions. To view the stale subscriptions for only SaaS subscription profiles, select Subscriptions Excluding SSO. |
| Subscription Spend by Cost Center | Total cost of all active subscription software entitlements by cost center. |
| Potential SaaS Savings by Instance | Potential cost saved for each subscription profile if you reclaim unused subscriptions. You can filter the data that is displayed on this report by selecting an option from the Breakdown list. To view the potential savings for both SaaS and SSO subscription profiles, select All Subscriptions. To view the potential savings for only SaaS subscription profiles, select Subscriptions Excluding SSO. |
