Additionally, assets can be linked to each other via asset references, allowing you to easily identify dependencies and improve asset management. |
Asset attributes
Asset attributes are properties or characteristics that are associated with an asset. Each asset type has its own set of attributes that are used to describe the asset. For example, a laptop asset type might have attributes such as the model, manufacturer, and serial number.
Asset attributes can be used to track the status of an asset (such as whether it is in use or has been retired) and to provide additional information about the asset (such as its location or condition).
Asset types
Asset types are another critical component of the AIP database. You can group similar assets together under a particular asset type, which acts as a container for the assets.
...
Asset types can also be used to define relationships between different types of assets. For instance, a server asset type might be linked to a business service asset type to show the relationship between the two.
Asset type schemes
An asset type scheme is a set of asset types that are managed as a group. Creating multiple 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.
