Template Inventory

The template inventory collect task collects the data configured in the inventory template modules. Templates are used to collect information that is not part of the hardware or software inventories. You can create and modify templates in the Control Panel, Configuration, Collection Modules, Inventory Template Modules folder.

At the scheduled time, the agent prompts the user for input and transfers the data to the scalability server from where the engine imports to the database. This information is displayed under All User Accounts, User, Inventory, Additional folder.

The default User Template module is linked to the All Computers group. However, it does not prompt the user for input. You have to configure the module for prompting the user.

Note: For more information about creating and configuring the inventory template modules, see the DSM Explorer Help.
