Asset Assigned User Changes Report

FlexNet Manager Suite 2019 R2 (On-Premises Edition)

The Asset Assigned User Changes report lists all changes to the assigned user of an asset within a selected period.

Hardware asset managers may wish to generate this report on a weekly or monthly basis as part of a review process to identity which assets are being assigned to new users and, in particular, which assets are being frequently reassigned. Use this report to identify why user-based license consumption may have changed, and to determine whether the inventory device attached to an asset should be checked for the correct license model (such as license type, second-use rights, and the like).

Generating the report

  1. Navigate to Hardware Assets > Assets > Asset Assigned User Changes.
  2. In the top left corner is a standard filter labeled Period. From the adjacent drop-down list, choose your preferred reporting period. You can choose the last 7, 14, 30, or 90 days, all measured from today. The default selection is seven days.
  3. Click Run report.
