Delete Asset Types

Customizing Asset Types

You can rename fields, create fields, and delete fields in Asset Types as needed. Customizations to Asset Types are preserved during appliance updates.

About renaming fields and changing field types in Asset Types

When you rename a field in an Asset Type, the field is renamed in all assets that are based on the Asset Type. Values for the renamed field are retained.

However, if you change the Type to a type that does not support the data already entered in a field, that data is lost. For example, you might have a field named Model Number that is of the Type, Text, and that contains the value A123. If you change the Type from Text to Number, the system cannot convert A123 to a valid number. The value for the Model Number field is set to 0.

About adding and deleting asset fields

When you add a field to an Asset Type, the field is available to all assets of that type. Similarly, if you delete a custom asset field, that field, and any values entered in that field, are removed from all assets of that type.

For example, if you created a custom field named BIOS Serial Number in the Device Asset Type, that field would be available to all Device Asset Types. However, if you delete the BIOS Serial Number custom asset, that field, and any values entered in the field, are removed from all Device Asset Types.

If you delete an asset field, the asset association is removed from any assets that point to the deleted field.

Add or customize Asset Types

You can have as many custom Asset Types as you need. In addition, you can create custom fields in any Asset Type. When you create a custom field in an Asset Type, that field becomes available to all assets that are based on that Asset Type.

If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, you add and customize Asset Types for each organization separately.

1.
Go to the Asset Type Detail page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Asset Management, then click Asset Types.
c.
Display the Asset Type Detail page by doing one of the following:
Select Choose Action > New.
2.
In the Name field, add or change the name as needed.
3.
All asset types except Locations. In the Defaut Asset Status field, under the General tab, enter a default asset status, or a custom one (if they exist).
Active: Any asset that is deployed, active, or in use.
Disposed: An asset that is no longer available for use.
Expired: A software license or contract asset that has expired.
In Stock: A recently received asset.
Missing: Any asset that cannot be located.
Repair: An asset that is being repaired.
Reserved: An asset that is set aside for a specific person or use.
Retired: Any asset that reached its end-of-life state, or is no longer in use.
Stolen: An asset that has been reported as stolen.
4.
If you want to allow users who do not have the Administrator role to delete assets of this type, select Restrict Delete to built-in Administrator Role. This option is turned off by default. Only administrators can configure this option. For other types of users, this field appears on the page, but it is disabled.
5.
If you want assets of this type to display the asset location in the asset details, select Show Location settings. This option is turned off by default.
6.
Asset Fields. In the Defaut Archive Asset Status field, enter an asset status that you want to automatically assign to a device when it becomes archived.
Any assets of this type that you create will have the barcode tags available for configuration. For example, if you specify a Corporate Tag and a Dell Asset Tag, barcodes identified with these two tags will be available for selection in on the Asset Detail page, when you create or edit an asset of this asset type.
To add a barcode, click , type the barcode name, and click Save.
8.

Optional: Add Asset Subtypes for Asset Types. See Add Asset Subtypes and select Device Detail page preferences.

About customizing the Device Asset Type

Almost all Device asset data, whether displayed in the Assets or Inventory sections, originates from the Assets section.

The only device inventory or asset information that comes from the Inventory section is data for the Mapped Inventory Field and the Matching Asset Field. The values for those fields are collected each time devices are inventoried. During the inventory process, the appliance determines whether devices already have mapped assets. If no asset is found, the appliance creates one.

The default data type for Mapped Inventory Field is System Name, and the default data type for Matching Asset Field is Name. However, if you re-image your systems, the information under the old system name is lost to the Asset Management component. To prevent this loss, consider using BIOS serial numbers, IP addresses, MAC addresses, or something similar for tracking.

You can import Device asset data or change it manually in the Assets section any time.

Example: Add custom fields to the Device Asset Type

This example shows how to add fields to the Device Asset Type and select them in the Mapped Inventory Field and the Matching Asset Field.

About Asset Subtypes, custom fields, and device detail preferences

About Asset Subtypes, custom fields, and device detail preferences

Asset Subtypes are subcategories of assets that you can add to any Asset Type, including custom Asset Types. This enables you to identify and manage subtypes of assets, such as Device assets that are computers, printers, or routers, and Software assets that run on Windows, Mac, or Linux systems in the appliance inventory.

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.

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.

Workflow for using Asset Subtypes with SNMP devices

To use Asset Subtypes, you need to add them, and any custom fields you want to use, to your Asset Types. To populate the fields with data from SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) devices, you can also add object identifiers (OIDs) to the custom fields.

The workflow for using Asset Subtypes with SNMP devices includes these tasks:

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. For more information, see About printer templates.

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. For more information, see About printer templates.

About Asset Subtypes, custom fields, and device detail preferences

Asset Subtypes are subcategories of assets that you can add to any Asset Type, including custom Asset Types. This enables you to identify and manage subtypes of assets, such as Device assets that are computers, printers, or routers, and Software assets that run on Windows, Mac, or Linux systems in the appliance inventory.

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.

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.

Workflow for using Asset Subtypes with SNMP devices

To use Asset Subtypes, you need to add them, and any custom fields you want to use, to your Asset Types. To populate the fields with data from SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) devices, you can also add object identifiers (OIDs) to the custom fields.

The workflow for using Asset Subtypes with SNMP devices includes these tasks:

Optional: Populate the fields:
Add Asset Subtypes and select Device Detail page preferences

You can add Asset Subtypes to any Asset Type, including custom Asset Types, and you can add custom fields for each Asset Subtype.
