Change a Model Asset Family

You can change the asset family of selected models. For example, you realize that a set of related computer models were imported into the product using the hardware asset family. You search for these models and select them. Then you can change the asset family for all selected models simultaneously.

Note: When you change the asset family for a model, the asset family is also changed for the associated assets.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Model.
2. Click Change Model Asset Family under Mass Change Utilities on the left.
3. Select the original asset family and the new asset family.

   Note: If the original asset family has extended fields that the new asset family does not have, a warning message and a check box appear. To proceed with changing the model asset family, select the check box Check to change model to new asset family. The extended fields are lost. To avoid the data loss, define the extended fields for the new asset family before you change the model asset family.

4. Click Go.

   All models that have the original asset family are listed in the Search results.

5. Select either the individual models that you want to change or all models.
6. Select a class for the models using one of the following actions:
   • Select the Assign a Single Class to All Models check box and select a class if you want to apply the same class to all selected models.
   • Select the class for each individual selected model.
7. Click Change Model Asset Family.

   Your request is submitted.

8. Click View Mass Change Utilities Progress to see the status of your job and verify completion.
