Summary

This article provides reasons for Irrelevant (or Ignored) Entries in Normalize and ITV.   

Synopsis

This article provides reasons for Irrelevant (or Ignored) Entries in Normalize. The following entries once processed will be marked as Ignored/Irrelevant largely because the data submitted is not the representation of a complete software package. So in the Technopedia library we cannot validate them to be mapped to a product. Hence, marking a product as Irrelevant in the library would mean that the evidence is present but cannot be mapped to a valid application.
