11.1.19 Removing the definition for a department or location

If you no longer manage a department or location, you can remove the definition for the department or location. After the definition is removed, the removed department or location no longer appears in the menu area of the Assets module and the Inventory module.

To remove the definition for a department or location:

  1. Display the Assets module.

  2. From Hardware Assets in the menu area, select Department List or Location List, and then click the displayed icon.

  3. In the displayed dialog, click the Edit button in Type.

  4. In the display the window, remove the definition for the department or location.

  5. Click OK.

  6. Click OK.

The definition for the department or location is removed.

The user information (actual status) of each device is unchanged even if you remove a definition. Therefore, the removed hierarchy is still displayed in the menu area of the Assets module and the Inventory module. To ensure the actual status is consistent with the definition, update the user information according to the definition after you edited the definition for a department or location. After you update the user information, delete only the hierarchies that exist in the old organizational system, so that the menu area display is consistent with the definition. For details about how to delete only the hierarchies that were used in the old system, see 6.35 Removing only hierarchies that were used in the old organizational system.

Tip

After you delete the department definition, in the following views of the Assets module, Unknown appears for the department:

  • The Software License List view in Software Licenses

  • The Software License Status List view in Software License Status

  • The Contract List view in Contracts
