Asset Subgrouping

CA APM lets you divide (subgroup) an asset group into individual assets using the product. When you subgroup assets, the data for the asset group is copied to the new individual assets, except for the following information:

You can change any existing data or add unique information to the new individual assets. You track the new assets separately from that point forward.

Example: Subgroup Software Licenses

In this example, you purchase 100 licenses of Microsoft Visual Studio under a single purchasing agreement. You record the licenses as an asset group with a quantity of 100. Later, you allocate ten licenses to members of your development staff. You then subgroup the ten allocated licenses into individual assets and enter their allocation information. The 90 licenses that are not allocated remain in the asset group.
