11.1.13 Associating multiple items of hardware asset information

You can establish an association between multiple items of hardware asset information to collectively manage hardware asset information of devices, such as information of computers, displays, and CD/DVD drives.

To associate multiple items of hardware asset information:

  1. Display the Assets module.

  2. From Hardware Asset in the menu area, select the group that contains the hardware asset information for which you want to establish an association.

  3. In the information area, select the hardware asset information for which you want to establish an association, and then select Associate Hardware Asset from Action.

  4. In the displayed dialog box, select the hardware asset information, and then click OK.

An association between multiple items of hardware asset information is established.

Important

When you are collectively managing multiple assets, if you change the asset status of a computer, the asset status of the associated device, such as a display or CD/DVD drive is not changed. For example, if you update the stocktaking date, you need to update the stocktaking dates for all associated items of the hardware asset information.

Tip

You can also establish an association between multiple items of hardware asset information on the Associated Assets tab of the Hardware Assets view.

You can also establish an association between multiple items of hardware asset information by using Associated Information in the dialog box for adding or editing hardware asset information.
