Discovered Apps

Click on the Discovery menu item in the WitnessAI console. In the Discovery section, select the Discovered Apps view. This page lists all the applications WitnessAI has identified in your environment.

Select a Time Range: At the top of the Discovered Apps view, find the time range filter (it may default to something like "Last 7 days"). Click this date filter and choose the period you want to analyze (for example, Last 30 days or Last 90 days). This ensures you’re looking at app usage within a specific timeframe, so “most popular” refers to that period.

You can filter by Data Criticality and Category.

And easily block Apps directly in the Table View by clicking the Block button (1) in the Actions column. When you block an App you’ll see a confirmation on the screen (2).

Clicking the Unblock button will reverse this action.

The Overview tab lists the headquarters of the vendor, and an extensive list of Supply Chain data, that the App depends on for data, support, and hosting.

The Users tab displays which specific users have accessed the App during the chosen time range, helping you assess its popularity and importance to the organization.
