Maintaining and using manual asset information

Maintaining and using manual asset information

For assets that do not report inventory to the appliance automatically, you can manually add asset information. This is useful for logical assets such as locations, cost centers, and vendors, and physical assets, such as office furniture and equipment. Asset information that is imported or added manually must be updated manually when that information changes.

There are two ways to keep manual asset information up to date:

•
Manage the information in spreadsheets and re-import them to the appliance periodically.
•
Maintain the information manually in the Asset Management component.

Whichever method you choose, use it consistently to ensure that data remains current.

Creating an asset administrator role

You can create an asset administrator role to permit other users to update assets in the appliance.

For information on creating roles, see Setting up roles for user accounts.

Scheduling regular imports

To maintain asset information efficiently, you can continue updating source spreadsheets. Each time you import, the Asset Management component determines whether to import or update records based on what was designated as the primary key (PK) when the asset was created:

•
If the primary key matches an existing record, the Asset Management component compares the data and updates the existing record.
•
If there is no matching primary key in the row, a new record is generated.

See Importing license data in CSV files.

Tip:
 
TIP: Before importing new data, consider running a report to export the current data. That way you can return to the original data if there is anything wrong with the structure of the new data.

Using asset data in reports

You can export data from the Asset Management component in standard reports.

Some standard reports are:

•
Unapproved Software Installation: Software found on devices where no license has been approved.
•
Software Compliance Simple: License counts, such as those found on the Assets list.
•
Software License Compliance Complete: A list of software and devices that are impacted by each license.

In addition, you can create your own reports. See About reports.
