9.6.2 Setting an assigned item for user names

If user names are managed in JP1/Software Distribution's system configuration information, system information, or user inventory information, you can register that information in the asset management database.

Because the user name is registered as User name of hardware assets acquired from the inventory information, you can save the time for registering the user for each asset.

This section describes the registered information that depends on the assigned item when JP1/Software Distribution's user inventory information is assigned to the user name in asset information, and the procedure for setting an assigned item for user names.

Organization of this subsection
(1) Difference in registered information when items are assigned from the user inventory information
(2) Setting an assigned item for user names

(1) Difference in registered information when items are assigned from the user inventory information

To register user inventory information as asset information User name, select one of the three user inventory items to assign it to the asset information:

The selected item is assigned to the corresponding user information, and User name and User ID are registered in the asset information.

The figure below shows an example when User ID is selected as the assigned item.

Figure 9-41 Example of assigning user name to asset information

[Figure]

If there is no corresponding value in the user information when the item is assigned, the user inventory item itself is registered as is in the asset information User name. For example, if User ID is selected as the assigned item and there is no corresponding user ID in the user information, the user ID is registered in the asset information User name.

The table below shows the correspondence between the item selected as the assigned item and the actual information that is registered when user inventory information is assigned to asset information.
