11.1.15 Setting primary information associated with hardware asset information

When multiple items of device information are associated with the same hardware asset information, you can specify primary information as a representative of the device information. When the primary information is specified, its device information is applied to the hardware asset information.

To specify primary information:

  1. Display the Assets module.

  2. From Hardware Assets in the menu area, select the group that contains the hardware asset information that is associated with multiple items of device information.

  3. In the information area, select the hardware asset information that is associated with multiple items of device information, and then display the Device information tab.

  4. On the Device information tab, select the device information that you want to specify as the primary information.

    Note that you cannot select multiple items of device information.

  5. Click the Change Primary Inventory button on the tab.

  6. In the displayed dialog box, click OK.

The primary information is set for the device information that is associated with the hardware asset information. The[Figure] mark appears in the Primary Inventory item of the primary information.

Tip

If the device specified as the primary inventory is removed or associated with other hardware asset information, the primary inventory changes as follows:

  • When the device specified as the primary inventory is removed, another device associated with the hardware asset is changed to the primary inventory.

  • If the association is changed so that the device specified as the primary inventory is associated with another hardware asset, another device that has already been associated with the hardware asset is used as the primary inventory.

In each case, if at least two devices are associated besides the device that is to be removed or whose association is to be changed, the device having the latest update date and time becomes the primary inventory. This also applies when duplicate devices and idle devices are automatically removed by auto maintenance of devices.
