An asset type collectionscheme is a set of asset types that are managed as a group. Creating multiple asset type collections schemes is useful for various reasons, such as auditing data, maintaining accuracy, and restricting access permissions. Data can be grouped into logical asset collections schemes based on usage and who's updating it, so you can easily use different asset collections schemes for one use case and link assets together.
You can keep sensitive data together, like employee information, in one collection scheme with restricted access, for example. You can also create an asset type collection scheme for IT assets, which includes asset types for laptops, servers, and software licenses. Another asset type collection scheme might be created for facility assets, which include asset types for buildings, equipment, and vehicles.
To group data into logical asset collections schemes in AIP, consider how the data will be used and who will update the data. This way, you can easily use multiple asset collections schemes for one use case and create links between assets in different asset collectionsschemes.
