About the Asset Management component

About the Asset Management component

The Asset Management component includes assets and Asset Types (templates). It enables you to manage assets added automatically through inventory and assets you add manually.

Default Asset Types include: Device, Cost Center, Department, License, Location, Software, and Vendor. You can create custom Asset Types as needed. See Customizing Asset Types.

Using the Asset Management component you can:

•
Manage items throughout their lifecycle. Track software and other items from procurement to deployment, usage, and end of life. Or, track peripherals such as printers, network devices, and phones. See Identifying the assets to track.
•
Manage software License Compliance. Track the licenses you own, as well as the number of copies of applications installed on devices. Options for managing License Compliance differ for items in the Software Catalog inventory and the Software page inventory. See Setting up License Compliance.
•
Track data. Track purchase orders (POs) by entering each PO as an asset and linking it to the items purchased, received, and distributed. See Add License assets for Software page inventory.
•
Track physical assets. Track physical assets, such as device hardware and software, as well as other physical assets, such as office furniture. You can track the use of these items as well as the status of their warranties. See Managing physical and logical assets.
•
Track logical assets. Track logical assets, such as geographic locations, cost centers, departments, vendors, and so on. Logical assets are normally used as the basis for reporting. For example, logical assets answer questions such as “how many devices does this department have?” and “when do the licenses we bought from a software vendor expire?” See Managing physical and logical assets.
•
Create and track relationships between assets. Create peer-to-peer and parent-child relationships between assets. These relationships enable you to track assets by PO (purchase order), location, department, project, and other criteria. See Establishing relationships between asset fields.
