Types
Asset typesTypes are another critical component of the AIP database. You can group similar assets together under a particular asset typeAsset Type, which acts as a container for the assets.
AIP comes with asset types Asset Types including Employee, Supplier, Laptop, License, and Server but you can create any other asset type Asset Type you require.
Asset types Types can be customized to your needs by defining specific attributes and properties for different types of assets, which makes it easier to manage them. For example, an asset type Asset Type for laptops might include attributes such as model, manufacturer, serial number, and warranty information.

Type Schemes
An asset type scheme Asset Type Scheme is a set of asset types Asset Types that are managed as a group. Creating multiple asset type schemes Asset Type Schemes is useful for various reasons, such as auditing data, maintaining accuracy, and restricting access permissions. Data can be grouped into logical asset schemes based on usage and who's updating it, so you can easily use different asset schemes for one use case and link assets together.
You can keep sensitive data together, like employee information, in one scheme with restricted access, for example.
