Define Reconciliation Update Options

Important! Verify that the user completing this task belongs to a role in which reconciliation management access is enabled.

You can apply changes to selected, critical owned-asset fields when the Hardware Reconciliation Engine detects new values in the corresponding discovered-asset fields. The Hardware Reconciliation Engine monitors the critical fields that you select and updates the owned-asset fields when changes are detected in the corresponding discovered assets. You specify the owned-asset fields that you want to be automatically updated with changes that are found in the corresponding discovered assets.
