You can group similar assets together under a particular asset type, which acts as a container for the assets.
Asset 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 for laptops might include attributes such as model, manufacturer, serial number, and warranty information.
AIP comes with asset types including Employee, Supplier, Laptop, License, and Server but you can add any other asset type you require.
Asset types can be managed as groups under an asset type collection, which can be seen on the Asset Type Collections screen. When putting data into AIP, consider how it’ll be used and who will update it so that you can group it into logical asset collections. This way, you can easily use multiple asset collections for one use case and create links between assets in different asset collections.
On the Asset Type Collections screen, you can see all the asset types under each collection. This will give you a detailed look at each asset type’s components, allowing you to view its attributes, decide which ones are required, as well as edit its permissions and global attributes.
