Description |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Beacon name |
The name of an inventory beacon involved in this task. One or more inventory beacons may be involved in a task. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Device name |
The name of the inventory device. This field can have any one of the following values: the first part of the full DNS name, the NetBIOS name, or the SNMP name of a computing device. If the device is a virtual host, you can also use its IP address as name. Tip:The name displays as Flexera SaaS Manager if this is a dummy device record created for imports from your SaaS Management connector. Important:Do not use a business adapter (or manual edits) to change the name of the inventory device that has been returned from inventory. This may cause creation of duplicate device records, and in any case will be overwritten by future inventory imports. For example, if you initially name new hardware purchases with the serial number while preparing for deployment, update the correct device name before collecting inventory. |
