The job you are creating in this step creates and maintains the CSV file on the target computer. The step you are on defines what the CSV file contents will be. The CSV file format is described in the Overview section. This file defines how the script ‘maps’ discovered software inventory to SD installed packages. It uses either the software signature ‘techid’ or the heuristic scan name and version data. If these items are found on the target, the SD package is recognized as being installed and the install record is created. You can type or paste the contents for the CSV file into the dialog box in this step, or you can maintain the contents in a file somewhere and click the ‘Load file’ button to load the contents of that file into the job whenever you modify it.
The detail of how to obtain the signature scan or heuristic scan data is described in the two sections following the section of the doc you are reading.
