Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product. Learn more about how Cisco is using Inclusive Language.

  2. Check out Alerts (https://software.cisco.com/software/smart-licensing/alerts) for other Notifications and Alerts.
  3. Check Out Product Instance

(https://software.cisco.com/software/smart-licensing/inventory) tab to take necessary action on Alert: Stale or Delinquent Usage Report.

4. There is additional capability in the Alert Window tab in CSSM, which will present the date on which the alert occurred.
