Create Custom Asset Definition

Last Updated: 08/15/2016 Introduced in Verision: 2.0

An asset is any object that has financial value and should be tracked, such as a computer, software, or office equipment. The Asset definition allows for a wide range of options. Once added, an asset can be used throughout the system when making assignments, adding tasks, creating reports, and other actions.

Add an asset to an assignment by navigating to the CMDB folder and selecting the Add button associated with the asset type.
