Zluri is an enterprise SaaS Management Platform enabling organisations to discover, manage, optimise, secure and automate their SaaS stack from a single dashboard. This document covers the primary use cases of Zluri and is a guide to using the platform to achieve your organisational goals with Zluri.

Zluri can help you achieve the following objectives.

• Application Management

• Contract, License and Vendor Management

• Optimization

• Spend Management and Budgeting

• Security, Reporting and Audit

• Automation

If you have any of the above as your objective, Implementing Zluri is the best decision you have taken. Here we guide you through setting up Zluri to get the best out of it.

Currently, most SaaS management platforms offer the opportunity to manage their apps and licenses only from an admin's perspective. The employees in the company do not have any means to look at the overview of the apps they are using or do not have an opportunity to request appropriate licenses according to the recommendations provided by the SaaS management platforms.   

To provide a seamless employee experience, Zluri has developed a new feature - The employee app store, which will resolve the needs of an employee.

FAQs
What is an organization slug?

The organization slug is a unique alphanumeric string for your organization enabling us to uniquely identify your account. This domain is derived from the domain part of your email address. 

For example, if your organization name is ‘zluri.com’, your organization slug will be ‘zluri’.

How is the organization slug created and where can I find it?

The organization slug is created automatically within Zluri when you sign up with your email domain. Once you login, you can find this on the Organization Settings page. If you do not have your organization slug while signing in, please reach out to your Zluri Customer Success Manager (CSM).

How can I change my organization slug?

To change your organization slug, please contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM).

The onboarding process of the Zluri comprises three steps:

1. Add your organization details

2. Connect SSO 

3. Connect financial integration

To get started, you need to enter the following information -

• Your organisation name

• Default currency used 

• Starting the month of your financial/fiscal year

Filling out these details is essential as we analyse and present all the spending in the default currency and for the current financial year. Zluri supports all global currencies (179 of them) on the platform. The default currency can be selected for the organisation while onboarding and the spend reports will be generated in the default currency. 

Note: The transactions that don’t take place in the default currency will be reported after conversion and formatting.

Zluri requires you to connect your SSO service provider to add your team to the app. It supports various SSO service providers such as Google Workspace (formerly GSuite), Azure AD, Okta, OneLogin, JumpCloud, etc. You can also add these details via a CSV file.

• Integration with any SSO requires authentication from the SSO account’s administrator.

  • For example, if you have the Google Workspace Admin credentials, you can authorize the integration yourself. Or you can invite Google Workspace Admin to complete the authorization with Google Workspace.

• If you invite your co-worker (SSO admin) to complete the authorization, you'll need to fill in their name, email, and a note (optional), and we will invite them.

• After the above step, your account admin will get an email with a link to complete the authorization and will see a screen as shown below after they complete the step.

• Once the SSO is connected, you'll see a blue checkmark on the top right corner as shown in the below pic for Google Workspace.

• Connecting the SSO is important as Zluri fetches the list of users, the applications they use, sign-in/sign-out activities, departments, domains etc., and the SSO is generally the primary source for most of the organisation’s data.

• SSO is important for shadow IT discovery, Identifying employees vs external users, user status, departments, designations of employees, etc.

• It also provides user activities for the applications which do not have a direct integration with Zluri. It helps Zluri calculate usage scores for each user for each application needed for optimisation insights.

If you have just one SSO instance, connect to that instance only once. If it is disconnected, do not add another instance and instead reconnect the existing instance.

After connecting with your SSO integration, you'll need to add the transactions through an integration with your financial systems like Quickbooks, Xero, etc.

You can skip the “add transactions” step and be redirected to your dashboard to view the users, applications, and usage metrics. You can integrate the financial system later by visiting the integrations page or upload the transactions by visiting the upload transactions page.

1. Like SSO integration, financial integrations also require the account’s administrator authentication.

2. For example, if you have the Quickbooks admin credentials, you can authorize it yourself or send an invite to your Quickbooks Admin to complete the authorization with Quickbooks.

Once you follow all the steps and connect financial integration, Zluri will fetch the transaction data from your financial system and automatically map those transactions to the SaaS applications.

• Please use the transaction type/account type filters to fetch only relevant transactions from the financial systems. If unsure, you can connect without applying filters and see the transaction data with transaction type and account type data in the platform. 

• Zluri automatically maps transactions to SaaS applications by matching the transaction description with application names. In case it’s not able to map, you can map manually and select ‘Auto assign for all future transactions’ so that Zluri can save the pattern and map all transactions of similar patterns to the same application.

• Always check the unrecognised section of the transactions tab. You can move those transactions either to the recognized tab if it's a SaaS-related transaction or to the archived tab if it's a non-SaaS-related transaction.

After the signup and onboarding processes, you must complete your account's initial setup. 

To set up your account, navigate to Settings -> Your Organization within the Zluri app.

• You can edit details such as Company name, Payment owner and IT owner in this tab.

• Payment owners will be notified about any transaction-related activity. 

Trusted domains contain the list of domains identified from various sources such as SSO. You should verify and ensure all the domains approved for use by your organisation are listed here. You can locate them within Settings -> Your Organization -> Trusted Domains

• Zluri utilises trusted domains to identify external users in your organisation, allowing you to manage them seamlessly.

• Trusted domains are essential while setting up SAML. When you set up a SAML login for your organisation’s users to Zluri, only users from trusted domains can log in to Zluri. 

If the required trusted domains are not auto-detected, contact the designated Customer Success Manager for your account.

Now that you have completed the initial onboarding and set-up, it’s time to enrich Zluri with data from more direct integrations.

At this stage, you should have already connected your SSO and financial system to Zluri. The next application you should connect to Zluri is your HRMS. 

Connecting your HRMS app with Zluri provides valuable user data like Department, Designation, Reporting Manager and Joining Date. Since Zluri can fetch accurate user Metadata from your HRMS integration, you can choose to configure your HRMS as your primary source for user data.

After connecting to your SSO, Financial System and HRMS, Next, you should take a look at the recommended integrations.

Recommended integrations are the list of apps used by the users in your organisation which are discovered using the integration with your SSO. 

Zluri suggests you connect as many integrations as possible as that gives Zluri more accurate information about users, licenses, and usage activities which helps Zluri provide better insights.

You can find the steps to connect a particular integration in the “How To” page of the application, or you can find the steps to connect while connecting directly by selecting the “+Connect” button. You can find detailed screenshots and steps for each app available for integration on Zluri.

Steps to connect - 1. Integration details screen for Postman integration

Steps to connect - 2. Connect instance screen for Postman integration

There are two ways to connect an integration: You can either connect the integration yourself or send a connection request to a coworker. The co-worker will get a link to connect the integration on mail, which can be accessed without logging in to Zluri. Please ensure that the person has the necessary permissions for that app required for connecting a particular integration. 

Scopes are the necessary permissions required by Zluri for connecting an integration to Zluri. Different scopes provide different capabilities for you on Zluri, such as Discovery, workflow, Provisioning, and Audit logs.  

• Scopes can have read or write permission. Scopes with read permission can fetch data on Zluri, and those with write permissions give Zluri access to read and edit the data. 

• Scope sensitivity is a measure of the sensitivity of the data Zluri can fetch using the scope and the level of access it gives to Zluri.

When connecting an integration, you'll see a list of scopes separated into two sections:

1. Required scopes: Required scopes are the necessary permissions required by Zluri to connect an app with Zluri. So, these scopes are selected by default while connecting.

2. Other scopes are the permissions required by Zluri if you need Zluri to provide you with all its capabilities, like workflows and provisioning. You’ll need to select these scopes while connecting an integration.

Each integration might have different capabilities based on the APIs available. You can visit the capabilities section of an integration to find out the data Zluri can fetch from the integration and the workflow actions available for that integration.

Disconnected Integrations:

A connected integration can be disconnected due to many reasons. The API key might have expired, the person who authorised the connection may have left the organisation, or their permission levels might have changed. 

When an instance is disconnected, instead of connecting a new instance, you can reconnect the previously disconnected instance. You can use previously used credentials, for instance, and new credentials to reconnect the instance. So, the API call triggered for the same instance will completely update the old data associated with the instance with new data fetched, leaving no chance for stale data or any data discrepancies.

Multiple instances:

Zluri allows you to connect multiple instances of the same application. It should be used when you have multiple accounts of the same application. The same account should not be connected multiple times since it might result in data discrepancies.

How frequently does Zluri sync the data from the connected applications?

After connecting an integration, it takes about 24 hours for a sync to fetch the user data and other metadata from the integration to reflect on Zluri’s platform. 

What data does Zluri fetch from the integrations?

The kind of data Zluri fetches from any integration varies from one integration to another. But primarily, all integrations can be segregated into four major categories.

1. SSO: ZLuri fetches the list of users, their metadata, activities, domains, and applications from SSO.

2. HRMS: HRMS integration is used to fetch user metadata like departments, designations, reporting manager, date of joining/leaving, etc.

3. Financial Integration: Zluri fetches a list of transactions from financial integrations

4. Other applications: Zluri fetches a list of users, licenses, activities etc., from other direct integrations like Slack, Zoom, etc.

What do you do when you do not find an application in the integration catalogue you wish to connect with?

If the application has open APIs, Zluri can build the integration. You can reach out to your designated Customer Success Manager for more details.

After doing the initial setup and checking trusted domains, you need to update primary sources for various details in the Zluri app. These details are - 

• Department

• Designation

• Profile Image

• Users

• Reporting Manager

• Joining Date

1. Department - Department’s primary source is the app for fetching the departments, their users, and other department data in your organisation.

2. Designation - Designation’s primary source is the app used for fetching designations for users in your organisation discovered/added on Zluri.

3. Profile Image - The profile image’s primary source is the app used for fetching Profile images for the users in your organisation discovered or added on Zluri.

4. Users - Users’ primary source is the app used by Zluri for fetching the list of all users present in your organisation.

5. Reporting Manager - Reporting manager’s primary source is the app used for fetching Reporting managers for the users in your organisation discovered/added on Zluri. 

6. Joining Date - Joining date’s primary source is the app used for fetching Joining dates for users in your organisation. 

1. Selecting primary sources is essential as they provide a data source for various details such as department, designation, profile image, etc. If not updated, this data might not be rendered correctly.

2. Zluri supports selecting only one instance as the primary source for the data points. So it is advisable to select the source as primary, which is the source of truth for user information.

3. When the same data flows to Zluri from multiple sources, Zluri displays the data fetched from the primary source selected in the dashboard. For example, Suppose the department data flows to Zluri from both Okta and Google Workspace, and Google workspace is selected as the primary source. In that case, Zluri will display the departments fetched only from Google Workspace.

1. Select the primary source as the one which is your source of truth for employee data. I.e. the system where the user account data is updated first when a new employee joins or leaves the organisation (i.e. HRMS or SSO)

2. Some of the data points can be maintained in multiple ways in a system (for example some organisations maintain their department-related information in org units in Google Workspace while some organisations maintain it in a user profile field in Google Workspace). Please select the right path, in this case, in the interface.

3. Please reach out to your designated Customer Success Manager if you wish to fetch the information from any other integrated applications or custom fields from existing options.

4. Please make sure that the primary sources for all data are set properly and reflect on the platform accurately before generating any reports or creating any workflows/automation rules.

The Overview Module is the first page you will see when logging into Zluri and will provide you with a high-level overview of your organization’s saas landscape. Additionally, on the left side is a navigation panel that will navigate you to the respective sections. There is also a global search bar, a My Tasks board, the Latest changes information, Notifications & Account Name at the top right of the page.

2. You can also generate a composite report on a scheduled basis from the Reports module in the Zluri Dashboard.

Zluri allows you to upload data on multiple users across multiple apps in one go. Think of a particular app, say Slack. There may be hundreds or thousands of users of Slack in your organisation. Similarly, you may be using hundreds of apps as well. In such a scenario, entering user data for each field may be cumbersome. 

With bulk data upload, you can add all your data in a .csv sheet/report and upload the same in one go.

To bulk upload data, open the Applications module on the Zluri Dashboard and click on the button with the 3-dot column and select the Bulk Update Data option as shown above. 

The process involves three simple steps:

1. Select the fields you want to modify: You can modify data only for existing apps and select fields. Select the fields you'd like to modify and click on OK.

2. Download Editable CSV: Bulk updating application requires a standard file format that maps back to your applications. Click on the Download Editable CSV button, and the standard file format will be shared via email.

3. Upload the modified CSV: Once you have added the data based on the above steps, you can upload the CSV file by clicking on the Upload CSV option.

Once the import process is complete, the changes will be reflected in Zluri, and you will be notified via your registered email ID.

Zluri allows you to take additional actions for each application. Click on a particular application name from the Applications module. Then select the 3-dot button next to the app logo on the left centre of the screen. You can use the menu to perform the following actions: 

• Unmap Application: Used to unmap an application from the current Zluri integration.

• Map to a different application: Used to map an unmapped application with the initially available integration.

• Map to/Merge with another app: Used to integrate with the workspace of another app.

• Archive App: This is used to move the current app to the archive section in the Zluri workspace.

• Action History: Displays the actions marked for the selected app.

Active in the last 30, 60, and 90 days is basically calculated from any activity Zluri has observed for users under an application.

The last activity can be anything like signing in, logs, other activities shared by direct integration agents. That's where the active days get their data from.

It's an addition of all the activity logs we got for an application in the past 30, 60, 90 days. 

The data pipelines are running to get this data updated regularly.

Overview 

Zluri's scoring system provides valuable insights into employees' applications and user usage within an organization. This document breaks down the context behind the scoring, weight distribution, and calculations considered for measuring 'application usage' and 'user usage' within organizations using the Zluri platform.

Application Usage Scoring

Zluri considers Average Volume (AV), Average Activity Days (AD), and Percentage of Users (PU) as the three primary factors to measure usage scoring for applications. Also, it assigns a Weight Distribution percentage defining the relative importance or contribution of each factor (AV, AD & PU) in the overall calculation of the final application usage score.

Definitions and Examples

1. Average Volume (AV)

Average volume of activity fetched per user per month.

• Definition: Frequency of user activity fetching for a specific application per month. This can be sign-in logs, activity logs, etc.

• Example Scenario: For instance, if a user signs up thrice a month with five activities tracked in the activity log, Zluri calculates these counts based on the proprietary technical logic and assigns a predefined AV score to the calculated number.
  
  

2. Average Activity Days (AD)

Average number of activity days for a month.

• Definition: Number of days any user is active in a month. This can range from 1 day to 31 days a month, depending on the month. 

• Example Scenario: For instance, if a user signs up thrice a month with five activities in one day, Zluri calculates the days' count and assigns a predefined AD score to the calculated number.
  
  

3. Percentage of Users (PU)

Percentage of users who use this app (adoption rate).

• Definition: Adoption rate indicating how many users from the organization are using a specific application.

• Example Scenario: For instance, if there are 100 users in the organization, and 50 use the application, Zluri calculates the percentage and assigns a predefined PU score to the calculated percentage.

Final Application Usage Score

The total Application Usage score is generated by combining AV, AD, and PU, also factoring in the assigned Weight Distribution percentage, which defines the relative importance or contribution of each calculated factor.

Refer to the Weight Distribution section for a detailed understanding.

User Usage Scoring

Zluri considers Monthly Count (MC), Mean of Monthly Count, Distinct Days (DD), and Mean of Distinct Days as the four primary factors to measure usage scoring for users. Also, assigns a Weight Distribution percentage defining the relative importance or contribution of each factor (MC, MeanMC, DD & MeanDD) in the overall calculation of the final user usage score.

Definitions and Examples

1. Monthly Count (MC)

• Definition: Number of activities a user has in a month.

• Example Scenario: For instance, if the number of activities for a user is more than or equal to one, Zluri calculates the activity count and assigns a predefined MC score to the calculated count.

2. Mean of Monthly Count

• Definition: Average monthly count in the past three months.

• Example Scenario: For instance, if the average number of activities for a user in the past three months is more than or equal to one, Zluri calculates the average activity count and assigns a predefined Mean of Monthly Count score to the calculated count.

3. Distinct Days (DD)

• Definition: Number of days of activity received for a user in the past month.

• Example Scenario: For instance, if the number of days of activity received for a user is more than or equal to one, Zluri calculates the days count and assigns a predefined DD score to the calculated count.

4. Mean of Distinct Days

• Definition: Number of average distinct days in the past three months.

• Example Scenario: For instance, if the average number of distinct days in the past three months for a user is more than or equal to one, Zluri calculates the average days count and assigns a predefined Mean of Distinct Days score to the calculated count.

Final User Usage Score 

The total User Usage score is generated by combining MC, Mean of MC, DD and Mean of DD, also factoring the assigned Weight Distribution percentage, which defines the relative importance or contribution of each calculated factor.

Refer to the Weight Distribution section for a detailed understanding.

Weight Distribution 

Weight distribution in the context of Zluri's Application Usage and User Usage scoring system refers to the relative importance or significance of each factor in the overall calculation of the final usage score. The assigned percentage of weight distribution values determines how much influence each factor has on the final score.

Application Usage Weight Distribution

For Application Usage, three factors are considered: AV, AD, and PU. The weights assigned to each factor reflect the perceived importance of each aspect in assessing application usage within an organization.

• AV: The percentage value assigned represents the importance of the frequency of application use. 

• AD: The percentage value assigned reflects the significance of user activity days on an application. 

• PU: The percentage value assigned reflects the contribution organizational adoption rate. 

User Usage Weight Distribution

For User Usage, four factors are considered: MC, Mean of MC, DD, and Mean of DD. The weights assigned to each factor reflect the perceived importance of each aspect in assessing user usage within an organization.

• MC: The percentage value assigned reflects the importance of the user's engagement level within a specific timeframe.

• Mean of MC: The percentage value assigned reflects the significance of assessing the user's historical engagement.

• DD: The percentage value assigned reflects the essence of assessing the consistency of user activity.

• Mean of DD: The percentage value assigned reflects the significance of assessing the historical consistency of user engagement.

The user's page will list the users in your organisation. Generally, this will be loaded from an SSO source like Google Workspace, but you can also manually add users. An employee record can contain their name, email address, designation, usage percentage, number of products, and status( active/inactive).

Three mini-trend charts are on top of the page, which displays the following details.

• Active users: Displays the number of active users for this month & the change in the number of active users compared to the last month. The graph plots the number of active users on the Y-axis & months (last 6) on the X-axis.

• Apps per user: Sum of the number of apps used by each user / total number of active users. It also displays the change & trend for the last six months.

• Spend-per-user: Spend per user for a month is calculated by dividing total spending on all applications for the month by the total number of active users. It also displays monthly average spending and trends for the last six months.

To edit the user attributes, you can do this on the user landing page or the individual employee page. You can select users on the user landing page by ticking the checkboxes and changing the status or department. This will change the attributes of all selected users.

The Transactions section reflects the transactional data from your financial integrations or uploaded CSV files with Zluri. We currently support integrations with Intuit Quickbooks, Zoho Books, Zoho Expense, Expensify, Netsuite and many more. Zluri will build more integrations in future and add to this list.

From the Zluri Home page, if we go to Sources - - > Integrations - - > Browse Catalog, we can get all the financial integrations currently supported if we search “finance” under Categories. Please refer to the below snapshots:

 This is how the Transactions section currently looks:

    
There are five sections within Transactions:

1. Recognised Transactions: These are the transactions which Zluri has recognised from the financial integrations and has mapped to an application and are SaaS related. For mapping the transaction, we use the Transaction Description. If the Transaction Description matches the application name, Zluri maps the transaction to that application.
   
   

2. Unrecognised Transactions: These are the transactions unrelated to SaaS, or Zluri has not been able to recognise from the financial integrations and has not mapped to any application.
   
   

3. Archived Transactions: These are the transactions which are non-SaaS related. Also, any other transaction that customers don’t want to be included can be archived. Customers can move these types of transactions to Archive so that their data is not visible on the dashboard.
   
   

4. Payment Methods: Customers can add payment methods like Credit cards, Bank Accounts and other Payment Options on this page. Zluri sends notifications to customers if any payment method is nearing its expiry date. 
   
   

5. Uploads: The customer can upload the transaction data as a CSV file which needs to have data in a specific format to upload the data.

Recognised Transactions

In Recognised transactions, the customer will be able to see the Application name, transaction description, transaction date, Amount of transaction, the currency of transaction, and payment method used.

The transactions table would now also have the following new columns: 
Vendor, Amortisation Start Date, Amortisation End Date, Cost Centres, and PO Number (Purchase Order Number)

More columns can be added from the select column option near filters. The customer has the option to export the transactions in CSV format.

The customer can filter out the transactions in the Recognised section by clicking on the “+ Add Filters” button highlighted below:

Once the customer clicks on Add Filters, a Filter panel screen comes on the right-hand side of the platform, which includes a list of filters that can be applied. For example, customers can filter based on transaction date, transaction id, transaction amount, etc.

If the customer selects transaction amount, they need to click the “+” button on Transaction Date and select the required filter—for example,  Greater than, Smaller than, Range, and Equal to.

After selecting the required option, the customer can click the “Apply” button to view the filtered transactions.
Customers can add a new transaction manually by clicking on the “+ Add” button. 
Please refer to the below screenshot:

Here, the customer needs to add the application name, choose the relevant currency from the dropdown, enter the amount, and select the date and the Payment Method used. After entering all the details, the transaction can be saved by clicking on the “Add Transaction”  button.

Also, if the customer selects multiple applications by clicking on the checkboxes near the application name, they can see two additional options on top near the search box: Change Payment Method and Bulk Edit. Please refer to the below snapshot:

Change Payment Method:

Once the customer clicks on “Change Payment Method”, a dropdown will be displayed with the following options:

Here, the customer can assign any payment method to the selected transactions in the Zluri system.

Bulk Edit:

If the customer clicks on Bulk Edit, the following options will appear:

Here, the customer can unassign the selected apps or move them into the Archive section.

If the customer clicks on “Unassign Apps”, the below screen will appear:

Here, Zluri will provide a few suggestions: 

1. Zluri will automatically detect similar transactions w.r.t. what the customer has currently selected.

2. Zluri will provide an option to include all similar transactions for the bulk edit option or proceed with the manually selected transactions. The customer can click the “Include All” or “Select Manually” radio button to choose the preferred option.

3. Zluri will also provide an “Automatically unassign all future transactions from this app” option. The customer can click this checkbox to select this option for future transactions.

Once the selections are made, the customer can click the “Unassign App” button to implement the Bulk Edit operation.

Similar options will appear for the customer if he selects “Archive” under the Bulk Edit option.

If the customer selects a transaction and clicks on the three dots in the top right corner, he can re-calculate the “spends” from the date he wants to consider. Once recalculated, the refreshed spends will be updated across the Zluri platform.

The customer can directly change the payment method of a transaction by hovering on the Payment Method field. If the customer clicks on the edit pen symbol, a dropdown will show up containing a list of all available payment methods. 

From this list, the customer can select a new payment method for this transaction.

Unrecognised Transactions

Unrecognised transactions have similar columns as present in the Recognised tab except for the Application name. Here, the customer can assign a transaction to an application.

Again, the customer can select multiple transactions at once. Once selected, the “Change Payment Method” and “Bulk Edit” buttons will appear on the top. The only difference in the Bulk Edit option is that the customer can assign the apps by clicking on the “Assign App” option instead of “Unassign Apps”. The rest of the operations remain the same. Please refer to the screenshot:

We can use the “Assign to App” option in the Assign_app column to directly assign an application to a single transaction. Please refer to the snapshot:

Once the customer clicks on the “Assign to App” button, the below screen will appear:

Here, the customer can select the application name they want to assign to this transaction. 

Also, they can select the checkbox “Automatically assign all the future transactions to this app” to automate the assignment process for future transactions. The automatic assignment of transactions is done basis of the Transactions Description. Zluri will remember the transaction description for application mapping and will replicate it in the future.

Archived Transactions

Archived transactions are those transactions which are not software related or any transaction that customers don't want to be included in the transaction can be archived

Hence, the customer can mark some transactions in the Archive category.

If we select one or multiple transactions, we can Bulk Edit all to UnArchive category. Once done, all the transactions will move to the Unrecgnised tab.

The rest of the functionalities remain the same on this tab.

Payment Methods

The customer can add payment methods like Credit cards, Bank Accounts or any other Payment Options.

If they click on the “+ Add” button in the top right corner, they can add a new Payment option. Please refer to the below screenshot:

If the customer selects the “Credit Card” option, they have to enter the below details and click on “Add Card” to save.

If they select the “Bank Account” option, they can enter the below details to save:

Finally, if they select the “Other” payment option, the below screen will appear, and they have to enter the details to save the payment option:

If you click on 3 dots on a credit card payment method, you will get two options: 
Edit Card and Delete Card.

If the customer selects the “Edit card” option, they will be able to edit the card details and, in the end, can click on the “Edit Card” button in the below screen to save the edited data:

If the customer clicks the “Delete Card" option, he can delete this payment method. Once done, a pop window will appear for confirmation like the below:

Once deleted, the platform will be refreshed, and the selected card will be deleted.


Uploads

There are five columns in the Uploads section: 
File Name, Date of Upload, Entries(number of entries), Recognised, and Unrecognised.

The customer can upload the transactions on this tab manually if required. They can upload a CSV file with the relevant details. 

Customers can use the filter option in the Uploads section to filter out the transactions they want to view on the platform. Please refer to the following snapshot:

Two filter options are the Date of Upload and the Number of entries in a CSV file.

For Uploading a new file, the customer needs to click on the “+ Add” button in the top right corner shown below:

Once the customer clicks on Add, the below screen will appear on the right-hand side of the screen:

From here, the customer can download the sample CSV file, enter the details and upload the updated CSV back. Sample CSV:

In the case of Vendor and Cost Centres, if the names in the CSV match with existing Vendor Names and Cost Centre names, then Zluri maps the transaction to the specific Vendor or Cost Centre. If not, then new Vendors/Cost Centres are created with the same name as entered in the CSV.

The data can also be sourced from financial integrations provided:
1. The fields are available in the API response of the expense management system 

2. The client maintains the data the in their expense management system

If the customer selects a CSV file in the File Name column, the “Deactivate” button will appear in the top right corner. Please refer to the below snapshot:

If they click on Deactivate button, the selected CSV file will be deactivated. Please refer to the snapshot:

After deactivating a file, the below screen will appear:

Similarly, the customer can activate a deactivated file by mistake. Please refer to the below screenshot:

Once, the customer clicks on the “Activate” button, the file will be activated:

If the customer clicks on any file name in the Uploads section, it will open up new tabs inside the Uploads section with details of Recognised, Unrecognised and Archived transactions within that file.

For example, in the below screenshot, the first file has 3 transactions: 2 recognised and 1 unrecognised.

Uploads - Recognised

The number of transactions in the recognised tab is 2, as per the above example.

As shown earlier, the customer can change the payment method and do the bulk edit by selecting one or more transactions:

Also, the customer can change the payment method of any transaction by clicking on the down arrow button under Payment Method - Add Payment Method.

Uploads - Unrecognised

The number of transactions in the unrecognised tab is 1, as per the above example.

The customer can move the unrecognised transaction to the recognised category by clicking the “Assign to App” button.

Uploads - Archived

As per the above example, out of three transactions, none was archived. Hence, the below section will have 0 transactions.

Filter Option - Details

The Transactions Module presents the entire transaction data for the users, which can be filtered by using the following filters:

NOTE:

• Card Payment is currently not functional due to API integration issues 

• the CSV template does not support global standards as yet. So, please follow the template instructions as is for a smooth upload

• Once the manual upload of data is done, do check for the accuracy of spend data in the ‘Overview’ section.

There are five columns in the Uploads section: 
File Name, Date of Upload, Entries(number of entries), Recognised, and Unrecognised.

The customer can upload the transactions on this tab manually if required. They can upload a CSV file with the relevant details. 

Customers can use the filter option in the Uploads section to filter out the transactions they want to view on the platform. Please refer to the following snapshot:

Two filter options are the Date of Upload and the Number of entries in a CSV file.

For Uploading a new file, the customer needs to click on the “+ Add” button in the top right corner shown below:

Once the customer clicks on Add, the below screen will appear on the right-hand side of the screen:

From here, the customer can download the sample CSV file, enter the details and upload the updated CSV back. Sample CSV:

In the case of Vendor and Cost Centres, if the names in the CSV match with existing Vendor Names and Cost Centre names, then Zluri maps the transaction to the specific Vendor or Cost Centre. If not, then new Vendors/Cost Centres are created with the same name as entered in the CSV.

The data can also be sourced from financial integrations provided:
1. The fields are available in the API response of the expense management system 

2. The client maintains the data the in their expense management system

If the customer selects a CSV file in the File Name column, the “Deactivate” button will appear in the top right corner. Please refer to the below snapshot:

If they click on Deactivate button, the selected CSV file will be deactivated. Please refer to the snapshot:

After deactivating a file, the below screen will appear:

Once, the customer clicks on the “Activate” button, the file will be activated:

If the customer clicks on any file name in the Uploads section, it will open up new tabs inside the Uploads section with details of Recognised, Unrecognised and Archived transactions within that file.

For example, in the below screenshot, the first file has 3 transactions: 2 recognised and 1 unrecognised.

Uploads - Recognised

The number of transactions in the recognised tab is 2, as per the above example.

As shown earlier, the customer can change the payment method and do the bulk edit by selecting one or more transactions:

Also, the customer can change the payment method of any transaction by clicking on the down arrow button under Payment Method - Add Payment Method.

Uploads - Unrecognised

The number of transactions in the unrecognised tab is 1, as per the above example.

The customer can move the unrecognised transaction to the recognised category by clicking the “Assign to App” button.

Uploads - Archived

As per the above example, out of three transactions, none was archived. Hence, the below section will have 0 transactions.

Clicking a contract will take you to the contract overview page, where all the details about the contract are displayed.

• Contract name

• Application name

• Contract owner

• Vendor

• Status

• Plan Name

• Contract start date

• Contract end date

• Contract value

• Payment method

• Renewal date

• Payment term

• Signed By Both Parties (Yes/No)

• Approved By Finance (Yes/No)

• Approved by IT (Yes/No)

• Compliance Verification (Yes/No)

Step 1: You can add a contract from the contracts landing page by clicking on the ‘Add’ button in the top right corner.

Clicking the ‘Add’ button will open a side panel where you can fill in the contract details.

Step 2: Enter the app name to select the application.

• Add a brief description of the Contract.

• Payment term - Choose if it’s a one-time payment or recurring payment.

  1. If it’s a recurring payment, select the recurring term.

  2. Select when the first payment was made for the contract.

• Choose the cost Amortization settings. This is necessary as the duration over which the entire cost of the contract is distributed depends on the choice the user makes. There are mainly 5 categories to choose from, namely: 

• Monthly: The cost of the contract is distributed over all the months of the contract

• Yearly: The cost of the contract is attributed just to the starting month of the contract

• Financial Year: The cost of the contract is attributed just to the starting month of the financial year

• Payment Term:  Depending on the option chosen, if the payment term is recurring then the cost is attributed depending on the frequency chosen

• Quarter: The cost is attributed once every quarter

• Start Date: The start date of the contract

This will reflect in the cost vs spend table in the application overview and app spends.

• License Assignment Precedence: This can be selected based on the start date or the amount.

Step 3: You need to complete the checklist details.

• Add the necessary documents for the contract.

• Assign the necessary permissions in the form of toggle yes/no, namely

1. Select whether the contract is Signed by both parties

2. Assign whether the contract is Approved by Finance & IT

Step 4: This will list all the current License details. Here you can also:

• Enable the checkbox whether you have been charged a base price for this contract

• Select the currency

• Add a discount or a one-time fee to the Licence.

The license is now added in the form of a pop once the ‘Add Licence’ button is selected.

Popup: 

You can now add multiple line items can be added to the same license now.

Step 5: This opens the Review option, where you can make last-minute edits before submission and add the contract by clicking on Add Contract.

The auto-increment previously changed the quantity without recording the date of the increase in quantity. Now, we are creating a new group is created from the date when the license was detected.

Suppose auto-increment is ‘On’ for a contract, and Zluri detects more licenses through the API call. In that case, It will automatically create a group with an extra number of licenses starting from the current date.

Suppose auto adjust is ‘On’ for a subscription. In that case, the license quantity will increase or decrease based on the number of licenses detected from the API call to match the total number of licenses.

Keeping auto-increment/auto-adjust off will not capture the fluctuations in the licenses. However, users can manually adjust the number of licenses.

Pro-rata: cost is calculated only for the duration for which the additional quantity is added

Months: irrespective of the number of days used in a month, the cost is calculated for the entire month

Quarters: irrespective of the number of days used in a quarter, the cost is calculated for the entire quarter

Years: irrespective of the number of days used in a year, the cost is calculated for the entire year

Overview

License management in Zluri helps you organise, manage and streamline all licenses, spends, and costs associated with your application ecosystem.

Licenses

License information is gathered from all direct app integrations and directly populated in the license module. Specific details that aren’t collected can be entered manually to make the information whole. Four tabs are present here: Licenses, Subscriptions, Contracts and Perpetuals.

For example, the number near the Licenses tab indicates the number of unique licenses present, and the same applies to the other three tabs.

Licence Tab

The licence tab shows only the active groups/ active entities of a particular license. Also, the cost of only the active license group/entity is attributed.

When multiple licences are active, It shows the average cost/license and sum of quantities of both groups.

E.g., One license has two entities, one from 1st Jan to 1st Aug and the other from 1st Aug to 31st Dec then, based on the date, one of the two entities would be active. On 28th Sept, the second group/entity would be active.

License mapper

Most licenses are automatically mapped to the users/teams they are associated with. If users are not mapped, they can be added in manually by the administrator.

License type

Zluri supports two types of App licenses.

• Seat-based: Seat-based licenses are those procured and priced based on the number of users/employees your organisation has set.

• Quantity-based: Quantity-based licenses are calculated based on a specific application metric the vendor mentions. 

Data sourcing for Licenses:

• Direct integrations: Zluri can connect directly with the application. if the integration is supported

• Manual contracts: If license information cannot be extracted, it is uploaded manually.

In the Licence tab, there are five KPIs on top, which represent the summary of the whole Licenses tab:

Total Contracts: total number of contracts present in the organisation.

Total Applications: total number of applications in the contracts.

Total Contracts Value: the total amount of the contracts cumulated together.

Annualised Cost: the total cost of the contracts considered for the current financial year.

Renewals: the total number of renewals upcoming for the current month.

In a more detailed view, there is more information present in below columns:

Licence name, Application name, Type of Licence, Assigned Quantity, UnAssigned Quantity, Cost/Licence, Total Cost, Utilized Value, Unutilized Value, Source, and Utilization.

The cost/license field can be edited from the platform if needed. To edit, click on the edit pencil symbol for any license:

A new page will open up. The customer should go to the License Details section and again click on the edit pencil symbol to update the cost/license field. Please refer to the screenshots:

After clicking the “Save Changes” button, a popup informs you about the successful action. Please refer to the below snapshots:

This module deals with the overall security and compliance of all apps associated with the Zluri Dashboard. This is because SaaS brings new security and compliance challenges in modern times. Major concerns like Shadow-IT, exposing Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and sharing the company IP with 3rd parties are all just some of the security and compliance concerns your organization should address. 

Zluri’s security module lists the critical applications & users based on the sensitive scopes they have access.

This section basically lists the risky apps as they have a high threat level and may be compromised in terms of security and compliance standards. It is a very simple-to-use list, and you can customise the list based on the following:

1. Applying filters: On the top of the Critical app list, you will see a button labelled Filter followed by a number which denotes the number of lists applied to the list. 

You can add new filters by clicking on the Filter button, and then from the window that opens, click on Add Filters button.

The following set of filters can be applied to Critical apps: 

The filters can be selected on the basis of Archive, status (whether active or inactive), Application Name, Application Id, Threat level (is greater than), Critical user count, critical scope count (number of scopes that are under risk associated with the app), risk score and risk level.

2. Applying Columns: You can customise the list by selecting the columns based on which the security information of an app is to be displayed. just click on the button next to the Filter button to open the Columns menu.

From the above, select the columns you wish to keep and click apply.

Zluri also provides the feature of providing detailed security and compliance information for individual apps. To do so, you can click the app name under the Critical Apps list. This will redirect you to the individual app page under the Applications module.

Once the page opens, click on the Security & Compliance tab. This will take you to the Security & Compliance overview page, where you can view the detailed risk information about the application.

Note: You can access the same app directly from the Applications module by clicking on the app name under the applications menu and selecting the Security & Compliance tab.

On the overview page, you can view the following details about the security and compliance of the app:

Status: Displays the overall risk status of the app as one of High, Medium or Low. Can also be used to reset risk status.

Risk: Displays the current risk level of the app on a scale of 1 to 5. (Low To High Risk)

Threat: Displays the current threat level of the app on a scale of 1 to 5. (Low To High Risk)

Compliance: Shows which security & compliance standards the app is associated with it. Ex: GDPR

Events: This can be found on the right-hand side of the overview page as the first of 4 tabs. It lists any recent events associated with the app’s risk or threat levels and all relevant information.

Data Shared: This shows the current threat-based information associated with the app. For ex: When a user assigns a scope to the app to View and modify but not delete your email.

Security grade: This is the final security rating assigned to the app on a score of 100. The assessment for the same is done based on several security factors. To view the detailed information on the same or to rescan the security assessment for a newer score, click on the Security Probes tab.

Note: You can view the critical user information for a particular app, like risk level or threat associated with a user, by simply clicking on the Users tab under the individual Applications menu.

The critical users' list can be found right next to the critical apps list under the security module in the Zluri Dashboard. Similar to the table of critical apps, the critical users' tab contains the data table of Critical Users within an organization who currently pose a certain level of risk/threat to the organization by harnessing one or many critical apps which pose a risk to the organization.

The data table consists of 5 columns:

• Name: Used to identify the name of the critical user. 

• Status: This shows whether the critical user is currently active or not.

• Threat: This denotes the current threat score of the user.

• Risk: This is used to denote the current risk level score of the particular critical user.

• Critical Apps: This shows the current critical apps which the given persons are using

Applying filters: On the top of the Critical users' list, you will see a button labelled Filter followed by a number that denotes the number of lists applied to the list. 

You can add new filters by clicking on the Filter button, and then from the window that opens, click on Add Filters button.

The following set of filters can be applied to the list of critical users:

The filters can be selected based on Archive, status (whether active or inactive), Application Name, Application Id, Threat level (is more significant than), Critical user count, critical scope count (number of scopes that are under risk associated with the app), risk score and risk level.

1. Applying Columns: You can customise the list by selecting the columns based on which the security information of an app is to be displayed. Just click on the button next to the Filter button to open the Columns menu.

From the above, select the columns you wish to keep and click on apply.

Integrations display all the possible integrations available. As of now, Zluri supports direct integrations with 500+ applications and adds more and more integrations every month.

To integrate any application with Zluri you must visit the integrations page in your Zluri workspace & click on ‘Connect’.

The integration screen has all the categories present in it. We can view the list of integrations—category-wise—and sort them by name, active & status. There is also a recommended section that lists the apps used in your organization to integrate, a connected section that lists the apps connected by an organization at present and a pending requests section that shows a list of requests sent to co-workers for integration connection along with their status.

The Integration module has 3 main subdivisions as follows: 

Recommended: This section lists the apps which are highly recommended for integration. Recommended integrations are populated based on the most widely used apps used by users across your organization, Zluri fetches this information from the SSO you connect. Zluri recommends you to integrate with such apps, in case, integration is available for them.

Connected: This section lists the apps already integrated with Zluri.

Connection Requests: This section lists the apps which have already requested to be connected but are awaiting authorization or require the request to be resent.

The Browse Catalog option in the Integrations menu houses the entire set of app integrations you associate with the Zluri Dashboard and provides all relevant information. As the name suggests, you can use the catalogue to find information about all integrations like instances, scopes, workflows, connection types, discovery types, etc.

For ease of search, the Browse Catalog menu has been classified into three broad sections - Collections, Capabilities & Categories.

This category organizes the app list based on popular choices and preferences. The categorization is done primarily based on the following three sub-categories:

• Essentials: This lists the set of apps that are essential in bulk to the organization.

• Staff Picks: This category lists the set of apps that the employees of your organization have most popularly used.

• Workflow Favorites: These are the apps used mainly during assigning workflows.

Capabilities

This category organizes the app list based on various capability features associated with the app. The categorization is done primarily based on the following three sub-categories:

• Discovery: Integrations with Discovery capabilities can be used to Discover Users and user metadata like email, roles, department, designation etc.

• Provisioning: Integrations with Provisioning capabilities can be used to assign/remove licenses from the app using workflow actions from Zluri during Onboarding/Offboarding.

• Workflows: Integrations with workflow capabilities can onboard and offboard users directly from the application, using workflow actions directly from Zluri.

Integration with any application requires authorization from the application administrator. If you have the Application Admin credentials, you can yourself. Or you can send an invite to your co-worker to complete the authorization.

If you are inviting your co-worker to complete the authorization, You will need to fill in his name, email & a note (optional), and we will send an invite to him. 

Your co-worker will get an email with a link to complete the authorization. Your co-worker wouldn’t need to login to Zluri to integrate an app using the link sent. He needs to have the necessary permissions for integrating the application, generally Admin permissions. Once you/your coworker authorize any integration, you can see an overview of how the application is used across your organization. You will also be able to see which users use the application & their details, such as last used date, usage & spend allocated to them.

Let us describe instances with the help of a popular Zluri integration ex: Google Workspace. 

1. What are instances, and how can you view them? 

Ans: Go to the Sources -> Integrations menu on the dashboard and select Google Workspace. You can see the option Instances highlighted with a list below. These list items are the instances available for Google Workspace:

The integrations section allows you to add, remove, and customize instances for all integrations. Here, the term ‘Instance’ is a generic term which refers to each connection associated with an application. For example, when you integrate Google Workspace into the dashboard, multiple connections with different scope permissions for different use cases can exist. These connections are referred to as instances.

2. What are scopes? What are the different kinds of scopes associated with a Google Workspace instance?

Ans: In the previous section, we discussed how instances are connections you create for an application. With that perspective in mind, Scopes are the permissions required by Zluri to connect an instance. These scopes can be mapped to the capabilities that Zluri offers. In other words, to fetch/edit user data and other user metadata from an integration, you need to provide Zluri access to specific permissions and these permissions are called Scopes.

The following types of scopes are available for Google Workspace:

1. Required Scopes: These are the basic level permissions that are required to be enabled for each specific instance of Google Workspace. This is necessary to retrieve data from the organization's domain and its users. The screenshot above shows how each scope has been marked by a red asterisk on the right, indicating that this is mandatory.

2. Other Scopes:

These Scopes are utilised for Use cases other than discovering users and User metadata. These are utilised for executing workflow actions for adding a user to an app, assigning a license to a user etc while onboarding and Deleting user from the app, Revoking user license from the app etc while offboarding. You can provide permission to these scopes to utilise the Onboarding/Offboarding workflows and License provisioning capabilities in Zluri directly through workflow actions.

1. Scopes For Discovery: These scopes are necessary for fetching information like User data metadata, user group data, user group subscriptions data and user aliases data. Zluri only utilises these scopes only for fetching data, not for editing data. 
   The main reason for permitting these kinds of scopes is that they primarily harness the data from the background through one of Zluri’s five powerful discovery methods to trace the data and take relevant actions. Some of these are optional.
   
   
   
   
   

2. Scopes For Workflows: These scopes are required for workflow capabilities in Zluri; they allow Zluri to read and edit User data and metadata for your application. You can utilise the onboarding/offboarding and provisioning capabilities in Zluri by allowing these scopes on Zluri. These are optional, generally.
   
   

3. How do I check which scopes are connected/disconnected from my Google Workspace?

Ans: Go to the Integrations menu on the dashboard and select Google Workspace. Click on the name, and a side menu opens. Select the scopes button to open the Scopes menu and find the connected/disconnected scopes list. Ex:

• See info about users on your domain

• View groups on your domain

• View domains related to your customers

• View organization units on your domain

• View groups on your domain

• Manage data access permissions for users on your domain

• View usage reports for your G Suite domain

• View audit reports for your G Suite domain

• View and manage G Suite licenses for your domain

4. I opened my dashboard and did not find Google Workspace. How do I find it?

Ans: This may happen because your Google Workspace is under the connected integrations menu. Open the Integrations menu from the Dashboard. On the left you will see 3 options under For You - Recommended, Connected and Connection Requests. Select the Connected Option. If you do not see the Google Workspace option, type the same in the Search menu and it will appear in the search list.

5. I tried to add a new scope to my Google Workspace, and it failed. What should I do?

Ans: If there is an error in connecting a scope, you can re-attempt to connect the scope using a similar process with the same Reference URL. Click on the Add Instance button in the Google Workspace option. Enable the scope you want to add and proceed to the connection authorization request. If the connection authorization process does not work, you can try to get it done using the Send to a co-worker option. If your co-worker can also not authorise the connection, please contact the Support team.

6. What is the average sync time for Google Workspace SSO?

Ans: The sync time is approx. 24-48 hours.

7. How to validate user data for integration with Google Workspace?

To check user data for a particular application, open the Zluri Dashboard and navigate to the application -> user screen.

Google Workspace:

Download the google workspace users and filter the users with status = active. The user count should match the count from the Zluri application with source = Google Workspace and User application status = active.

8. How do I add/remove an instance from Google Workspace?

Ans: From the integrations menu in the Zluri dashboard, you can select the add instance button directly from the Google Workspace menu or browse catalogue option and access the Google Workspace from the Integrations catalogue menu. The Google Workspace window opens. On the top left, you can click on the Connect an instance button to connect an instance and select subsequent scopes for the same before sending for authorization.

Select the view instances option from the Google Workspace menu to delete an instance. This will take you to a separate Google Workspace menu under the Integrations menu in Dashboard. From here, you can view the list of instances that are disconnected or have some error under Google Workspace. To remove such an instance - select the three-dot menu on the top right of an instance and select the remove option.

Note: 

• You can also add an instance from the Google Workspace menu under the Integrations menu in Dashboard. Click the button “Add Instance” on the top right.

• The user will remove all existing data associated with Google Workspace and its scope by removing an existing instance. This data will no longer be available.

9. How do I connect/disconnect an instance from Google Workspace?

Ans: Open Google Workspace under the browse catalogue menu. Click on View All Instances. From the Google Workspace window that opens, you can see the list of instances that are connected/disconnected.

Click on the reconnect option in red below an instance to connect a disconnected instance. This will take you to the scope integration menu, and you will need to authorize the instance again, as previously discussed. 

To disconnect an instance, select the three-dot menu on the top right and select the Disconnect option. Remember that if you disconnect an instance, any new data will not be synced with Zluri Dashboard, but the previously synced data will still be available.

10. What should I do if my instance is disconnected due to a change in the admin account?

Ans: This may happen if the admin account is deactivated or the permissions associated with an admin account are changed due to the existing admin leaving the organization. In such cases, you can either add a new instance with new admin account credentials or reconnect an existing instance with the new admin account credentials.

Zluri recommends you choose the second option from above. This will ensure no loss of previously recorded data, and the dashboard will retrieve and sync the pre-existing data without any loss. In case a new instance has to be created, all previous data will be lost.

Through Zluri, you can connect multiple instances of the same application. Connecting all application instances will provide the aggregated data for the application across multiple instances and will help you understand usage, analyse spend & optimise licences more effectively.

Clicking on any app in the Integrations section will take you to the integrations catalogue page for the particular app. This can be done by:

1. Selecting and opening any app in the Integrations module or

2. Selecting an app from the Integrations catalogue.

The app page lists all details about the particular app integration. This is done mainly by dividing the information into three categories:

This section gives an overview of the integrated app and provides the following information:

1. Zluri+App: This describes the capabilities Zluri can offer you when you connect the app with Zluri. 

2. Supported plans: Name the plans offered by the app, which you can use to integrate with Zluri. For ex: For Postman integration, supported plans are 

3. Similar Integrations: The list of apps similar to the one in question. For example, the following apps are similar to Postman in their capabilities. 

4. Integration-related links: Any links associated with the particular app integration are listed here. Forex: Help docs etc.

This section provides data about the capabilities of the integrated app and provides the following information:

1. Integration details: The Data points are fetched from an Integration like Transactions, and the app users like User Profile Image, User Source status, Role, Email etc.

2. Scopes: Scopes can be defined as the permissions associated with a user account that enables the Zluri dashboard to perform a specific action to retrieve specific data. Provides details about the scopes associated with the app integration.  

1. PII: Personally identifiable Information provides the User metadata points like User Profile Picture, User Email, and User Name, which can be fetched from the integration.

This article is to understand how BambooHR APIs work & it’s limitations:

1. If the Joining date for an employee is in future, then the department and job title of the employee will be populated on his joining date.
   
   
2. The BambooHR APIs are inconsistent in sharing the data, and delay happens from the BambooHR. The delay can range from 1 day to a week. 
   
   
3. The employee should have the work email added to the details in BambooHR to get the data processed. This processing can be changed as per request. Please contact the Zluri support team to process the users without the work email added in BambooHR. 
   • Zluri suggests adding the work email address in BambooHR to get a smooth onboarding process for new joiners.

This article explains how to read the data freshness indicator.

You will be able to see a ‘data updated as of’ indicator in the application - users, Licenses, Application spends, App User Activity, Transactions, And Integrations pages. the 

This article explains how to read the data.

To understand the data point, It is important to understand how Zluri processes the data. Zluri’s integrations run every 24 hours and collect incremental data between the last sync and the current sync with some buffer. Once the sync completes, Zluri processes the data and presents it to the platform.

Data updated as shows the latest data in any integration source that is processed completely and being shown in the platform.

To elaborate, Lets an Okta sync started on 01-11-2023 at 09:30 AM UTC and ended on 2-11-2023 at 09:30 UTC. This means the Okta data as of 01-11-2023 at 09:30 AM UTC is completely fetched into Zluri. Then, let's say the data takes 6 hours to process and present in the platform at 3.30 PM UTC. You can find the Okta data of 01-11-2023 09:30 AM UTC data Zluri, which is completely updated in Zluri. The data freshness indicator will show as 01-11-2023 09:30 AM UTC. 

Different data points take different time to process. Hence, the licenses, activities, transactions, etc., might show different data freshness indicators for the same source. 

If table data is fetched from multiple sources, The indicator at the top of the table shows the minimum of the data points of all sources. Let's say there are 5 sources, each having different time at which their data has been updated. The indicator at the top of the table will show the minimum of the all their data updation of timestamp.
