Viewing Discovered Applications

When you perform application discovery using tags, names, ServiceNow, flows, or advanced properties,

displays the discovered applications that match the criteria in a tabular view and a map view.

The map and the tabular view are interactive. If you click an application in the tabular view, the hexagon representing the application gets highlighted or focused on the map view, displaying shared services and network connections with other applications.
