# Reading the charts

> Interpret the approved software metric cards, the unapproved software trend chart, and the ranked list of worst-offending endpoints.

The header of the **Approved Software List** summarizes your software compliance posture across endpoints before you reach the table itself.

## What's on the header dashboard

**Time range filter.** A dropdown at the top right sets the reporting window for the metrics and trends below it: **Last 7 Days**, **Last 3 Months**, or **Last 6 Months**. If the trend chart renders blank, try a shorter window — a long period with only recent data leaves the plot empty.

**Metric cards.**

| Card                                   | What it counts                                              |
| :------------------------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Unapproved Software Apps**           | Distinct unapproved applications detected across endpoints. |
| **Endpoints with Unapproved Software** | Endpoints hosting at least one unapproved application.      |
| **Fully Compliant Endpoints**          | Endpoints with zero unapproved software installed.          |
| **New Unapproved Apps**                | Unapproved items discovered within the selected time range. |

**Unapproved Software Apps chart.** A time series showing how unapproved installations trend over the selected window.

**Endpoints with Most Unapproved Software.** A ranked list of your worst offenders, showing endpoint name, IP address, and total unapproved app count.

## Read the posture

Open **Compliance → Approved Software** and start with the metric cards, then read the trend chart to see whether unapproved installations are climbing or falling across your connected endpoints.
