4.1 Management targets
When designing an asset management system that uses Asset Console, first investigate and decide what is to be managed (the management targets). Asset Console can manage devices and software programs.
This section explains the information that can be managed for each management target.
- Information about the management targets

-
You can acquire the main information about a management target by linking Asset Console to JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager.
To import the information collected by JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager for utilization in an asset management database, select the targets to be managed by the asset management database. This must be done based on the information collected by JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager. For details about the information that can be acquired from JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager, see 19.1 Management information that can be acquired from JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager.
-
To register information not collected by JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager or information unrelated to JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager in the asset management database, and to manage such information, use either of the following methods:
- Register information about individual devices and software programs.
- Acquire information from a CSV file and import the information.
For details about how to register new information about devices and software programs, see 14.1.4 Registering device information (New Device) and 14.4.5 Adding a license (New Software).
For details about acquiring asset information, see 5.2 Collecting asset information.
