Update Company Normalization Rules

Important! Normalization rules apply to all tenants and public data that are associated with a service provider. Verify that the user completing this task belongs to a role in which reconciliation management access is enabled.

You update a company normalization rule when you want to change how a discovered company is normalized. This update may affect the reconciliation process. To update a normalization rule for a company, you delete the rule and define a new rule.

The product monitors updates to normalization rules. If you change a normalization rule, the Hardware Reconciliation Engine processes the asset matching so that the assets are matched using the new rule. Any assets that are matched as a result of a previous Hardware Reconciliation Engine process are evaluated again to determine if their matching should change based on the new normalization rule.

When you delete a company normalization rule, the subordinate company returns to nonauthoritative status and appears in the Collected Company list. If the subordinate company was a product-defined company, it also appears in the Normalized Company list on the Normalization Rule page.

To update company normalization rules

1. Click Directory, List Management, Company Rules.
2. Delete the normalization rule that you want to change.
3. Define the new company normalization rule.
