Deletion of asset information that is not included in the JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager management information

For each device, you can set ITDM2 management information acquisition control on the Device Details dialog to specify whether to delete the asset information. For details about the setting of ITDM2 management information acquisition control, see 14.6.2 Viewing and changing network information (Network tab) or 14.6.3 Viewing and changing installed software assets (Software tab).
