12.1 Overview of Item definition
To use Items to execute an asset management job, you must define Items that are appropriate to the nature of the job.
Item definition starts in the Item Definition window, which is displayed by clicking the Item Definition job menu. The figure below shows the Item Definition window.

The Item Definition window displays a list of Items that have already been defined and can be used or that are still being created and are currently stored.
From this window, you can define new Items and change registered Items.
By default, the sample Items provided by Asset Console are registered. You can change the definition of an Item by clicking its Item name link.
An efficient way to define a new Item that is similar to one of the sample Items is to copy and edit the sample Item. For details about defining an Item by using an existing Item as a template, see 12.7 Changing registered Items.
