Device Assets Without Inventory

This page lists those computer assets whose Linked inventory column is blank. In other words, a specific asset has not yet been linked to any inventory device (for example, the asset record may have been manually added). You can select the check box next to an asset you need, click Open, and use the Linked inventory field to link it to a device: the asset will be moved to the Device Assets page.

•

Where possible, include the hardware serial number when you manually create an asset record. Later, when inventory is imported (by default, nightly) and it includes a device with the matching serial number, that inventory device is automatically linked to the asset record during the reconciliation processing. Without the serial number in the asset record, or if the matching serial number cannot be found in imported inventory, the asset cannot be linked automatically. If this is the case, you may link the asset manually to the inventory device (open the asset properties, and in the General tab, use the Linked inventory search control).

•

Any custom properties that you have added for this object are also available through the column chooser. Like other properties, you can also use these properties for filtering and grouping records on this page.
