Asset Subtypes inherit the fields from the Asset Type, and you can add custom fields to enable the appliance inventory process to collect relevant information about the Asset Subtype. For example, you could add the Asset Subtype Printer to the Device Asset Type. You could then add a custom field for the Printer subtype, such as Toner. The Toner field would then be available to Device Assets with the subtype Printer.
NOTE: To enable the appliance to populate Asset Subtype fields from Agentless devices, you must assign the appropriate Asset Subtype when the device is configured, you must obtain the appropriate object identifier (OID), and you must map that identifier to the subtype field on the SNMP Inventory Configuration Detail page. You cannot add or change SNMP device subtypes after they have been configured. See Obtain a list of object identifiers (OIDs) using the Administrator Console. |
In addition, you can choose whether to show or hide the details that appear for each Device Asset Subtype on the Device Detail page. For example, you can hide information that is irrelevant to printers, such as Installed Programs, Discovered Software, and Metered Software, from the Device Detail page of assets with the subtype Printer.

NOTE: In a default installation, Device Assets include two Asset Subtypes for printer devices: Laser Printer: Color and Laser Printer: Monochrome. Each of these subtypes provides a common set of fields that apply to most printers. The appliance also comes with a set of printer templates for typical SNMP-enabled printer models, based on these Asset Subtypes. You can edit these templates or add new ones, as needed. When you apply a printer template to a device, the data defined in the template, such as toner levels or descriptions, is collected for the printer in the next inventory cycle.
