11.1.1 Adding hardware asset information
To manage the stocktaking schedule and asset status of managed devices, select Hardware Assets in the Assets module, and then you can add hardware asset information to the list in the Hardware Assets view. Also, by associating contract information with hardware asset information, you can check the costs generated from asset operation on the Hardware Asset Costs report.
To add hardware asset information:
-
Display the Assets module.
-
From Hardware Assets in the menu area, select a group.
-
In the information area, click the Add button.
-
In the displayed dialog box, enter the asset information, and then click OK.
- Tip
-
To add other hardware asset information, click the Save/Add button.
The hardware asset information is added and displayed in the hardware asset list.
- Tip
-
If you set a device as a management target, its hardware asset information is automatically registered. The automatically registered hardware asset information is associated with the device information. When you edit the hardware asset information, the device information can also be managed accordingly. We recommend that you use this method to add the hardware asset information when you need to manage both device information and hardware asset information.
- Important
-
When you change the host name in the device information, the device name in the hardware asset information is not automatically changed, even if the device information and hardware asset information are associated with each other. If you change the host name in the device information, and if the device name in the hardware asset information is the same as the host name in the device information, manually change the device name in the hardware asset information.
- Tip
-
You can also batch-add hardware asset information by importing a CSV file. We recommend that you create and then import a CSV file if you need to add a large amount of hardware asset information.
- Tip
-
To set the security policy to allow the use of a USB device, connect the USB device to an online-managed computer, and then register the hardware asset information.
