Managing IT Asset Preferences
The My IT Asset Preferences page (Administration > IT Asset Management Settings > My IT Asset Preferences) enables you to personalize the interface of IT Asset Management by defining personal preferences such as time zone and currency. Until you define your own preferences, your IT Asset Management account uses the default settings defined on the Defaults page (Administration > IT Asset Management Settings > Defaults). The My IT Asset Preferences page enables you to customize the following settings:
Language
You can change your language by making a selection from the Preferred language drop-down list and then clicking Save. The following languages are supported:
Note:Changing a preferred language does not translate any of the existing or incoming data that IT Asset Management collects. For example, an inventory record created in English displays in English, regardless of your language preference.
Currency
You can change your currency by making a selection from the Preferred currency drop-down list and clicking Save. Only currencies that are active on the Defaults page display in this list.
Note:IT Asset Management represents all currency values in the reference currency (typically the default currency as set in the Defaults page while producing reports. For this conversion, it uses the exchange rates defined in the current Exchange Rate Set (or, if none has been created yet, the default Exchange Rate Set). For more information, see the Currency Settings and Exchange Rates.
Time Zone
You can change your time zone by making a selection from the Preferred time zone drop-down list and clicking Save. IT Asset Management uses this time zone to translate the global time settings into your time zone equivalents.
Task Monitoring
You can choose which system tasks, if any, you monitor by selecting one or more check boxes associated with the Monitor the following tasks field and clicking Save.
Use these settings to configure your personal quick check monitor to your liking; and, because these settings have no impact on the System Tasks page, always click through to that listing for full details.
