15.4.2  Changing the data source or data type of asset management items

You can change the data source or data type of asset management items.

For example, if you configure the settings so that a user has to input some information, an administrator does not have to spend time maintaining the information.

You can change the data source or data type only for asset management items specified from the local server.

To change the data source of asset management items:

  1. Display the Asset Field Definitions view from the Settings module.

  2. Click the Edit button of the item for which you want to change the data source.

    You can specify the data source or data type when adding new items.

  3. In the displayed dialog box, edit the data source.

The data source is changed.

Tip

If the data type of Department or Location has been changed to a hierarchical structure, you can edit the hierarchical structure. The hierarchical structure edited here is reflected in the menu area of the Assets module or Inventory module.

Tip

The data type of Department or Location can be changed. The added asset management items other than those two items cannot be changed to other data types once it has been specified.
