Unified beacon creation

Note:This enhancement is available with IT Visibility and IT Asset Management.

Previously, the procedures and interfaces for creating an inventory beacon differed between IT Visibility and IT Asset Management, potentially causing confusion and inconvenience for users who use both capabilities.

In this release, the procedure and interfaces have been unified. Now, whether you start creating a beacon from Data Collection > Common Inventory Tasks > Common Beacons or from Data Collection > IT Assets Inventory Tasks > Beacons, you will be directed to a single streamlined interface.
