Create assets

Create hardware, software, consumable, bundle, pallet, mobile, and facility assets using the Core UI or the Hardware Asset Workspace.

Before you begin

Role required: asset

About this task

  • Unique identifiers for assets

    When you create an asset that belongs to a model category linked to a CI class with identification rules defined for fields like the Asset tag, Serial number, or MAC address, you should provide details for at least one of these fields. The identification rules for a CI class are defined in the CMDB Identification and Reconciliation engine (IRE). For more details, see Identification rules and Create a CI identification rule. These rules help to uniquely identify the asset through these required fields and maintain accurate asset records. However, specifying the values for these fields is optional in the following scenarios:

    • When you are creating an asset that belongs to a model category without a CI class.
    • When you are creating an asset that belongs to a model category linked to a CI class without any identification rules defined.
