Define an Asset

CA APM lets you add information about each asset to the repository so that you can manage assets throughout their lifecycle. Assets are defined based on models, and inherit data from the selected model. For example, you have defined Dell Precision Workstation 410 as a model. Your enterprise has purchased 100 individual computers, and you define 100 asset records that are based on the model to describe the individual computers.

To define an asset

1. Click Asset, New Asset.
2. Enter the asset information.
3. Associate the asset with other objects such as contacts, organizations, and companies. This approach enables specific data access to roles or users when you implement multi-tenancy.
4. Click Save.

   The asset is defined.
