A collect task collects data from the assets. Collect tasks can be created at the asset, group, and domain level. Tasks created at the asset level are linked to the respective assets, and those at the group level are linked to all the member assets in the group. At the domain level, you can view all the tasks in the domain, create new tasks, and link them to any group or asset. You can create and link any number of collect tasks to a particular asset or group.
Asset management provides the following predefined collect tasks that are linked to the All Computers group and all its member assets:
Collects the hardware inventory information from the assets. By default, it collects the information given in the General, Microsoft License, and Protection modules and displays it under the Inventory folder of the asset in the DSM Explorer.
Collects the software inventory information from the assets. By default, it performs a signature scanning on all the assets and displays it under the Software, Discovered folder of the assets in the DSM Explorer. After the installation of Client Automation, the asset management agent starts collecting the software inventory information on the assets based on the defined software signatures.
Collects the company and user specific information. This task is automatically configured for all the assets in the All Computers group. By default, it collects the information given in the User Template module and displays it under the Inventory folder of the asset in the DSM Explorer.
