Abstract: An example embodiment may involve receiving, by a server device disposed within a remote network management platform, a request for a graphical representation of capabilities provided by a set of applications configured to execute on computing devices disposed within a managed network, and obtaining, by the server device, information regarding the capabilities provided by the set of applications. The embodiment may further involve transmitting, by the server device and to the client device, a representation of a graphical user interface that includes a first portion populated by representations of the capabilities with capability scores that are color-coded to represent how well their respective capabilities are serviced by the applications. The graphical user interface may also include a second portion that is configurable to display counts of the capability scores with each color coding, or a specific capability of the capabilities mapped to applications that support the specific capability.

Abstract: A processing executing apparatus includes: a display; a storage that stores group identifying information for identifying a first group of a plurality of groups; a communication device communicable with a server that stores user information corresponding to each of users and at least including group belonging information indicating which group each of the users belongs; and a controller. The controller executes: a first receiving processing in which the controller receives, from the server, user information including the group belonging information indicating the first group identified by the group identifying information stored in the storage; and a first display processing in which the controller controls the display to display at least one operation button for each user corresponding to the user information received in the first receiving processing. The at least one operation button is for instructing execution of at least one processing.
