You can view the discovered information for the owned assets that are linked with discovered assets during hardware reconciliation. Discovered information for an asset includes system configuration, operating system, system devices, file systems, and other information. You can also view the owned information for the assets that you define in the product. Owned information for an asset includes asset properties (for example, operating system and product version), legal information, installed software, components, and other information.
