An apparatus is provided for management of client devices for maintenance of a structural product. The apparatus is caused to receive device manifest reports that include information about the client devices and digital content hosted by respective library apps on the client devices. The apparatus is caused to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) to visually summarize the information, with the GUI embodied as a dashboard with a layout of software widgets. And the apparatus is caused to send the dashboard to an administrative device for display. This causes execution of the layout of software widgets on the dashboard at the administrative device to access the information from the content management platform, produce respective infographics to visually summarize the client devices and the digital content hosted by the respective library apps, based on the information, and display the respective infographics in the dashboard at the administrative device.
