This page lists computer assets whose physical properties (for example, memory, the number of hard drives) have been modified. For more details, see Viewing and Accepting the Changes to a Device Asset. For information about how to track the properties of an inventory device linked to an asset, see Setting Up Compliance Rules for Inventory Devices.

The table includes the following columns. Some columns are available by default whereas some can be displayed through the column chooser. See Managing Columns in a Table. The Save view as feature of FlexNet Manager Suite enables you to create customized management views of a page by saving the applied user interface settings. For more information, see Creating Management Views.

Linked inventory	The device inventory record that belongs to this asset. An asset is linked to the appropriate inventory record when: The linking of assets is controlled from a business adapter. The asset is created first, and the inventory is collected thereafter. The existing asset is linked to the appropriate incoming inventory record based on matching serial numbers. Note, however, that if there are duplicate serial numbers, either on existing unattached asset records or in the incoming stream of inventory devices, the duplicates cannot be resolved, and in this case the linking of asset with inventory device cannot happen automatically. You will need to intervene manually to resolve the duplicate serial numbers. The asset record is created manually from an existing inventory record from the Inventory Without Assets page. Note: If the inventory record is created before the asset record, FlexNet Manager Suite will recommend a link based on the matching serial number, but the linking needs to be done manually.
