Inventory Template Modules define specific inventory information you want to collect from the MIF files. You can configure these modules to prompt the logged-in user for input. The agent takes care of populating the information to a MIF file.
Asset management provides a default template, User Template, that collects company and user information. The User Template is linked to all the users in the All User Accounts group. By default, this template does not prompt the user for input. You must configure the template module to do so.
This template uses the NCUSER.MIF file to store and retrieve the company and user information. This file is available under C:\Program Files\CA\DSM\Agent\units\00000003\uam folder.
You can also create new templates to collect information for specific devices such as printers, terminals, bridges, routers, and so on. The template prompts the user for input at the scheduled time for the attributes being collected. You can create templates using the built-in Template Editor and configure it for the required users and computers.
Note: The templates configured for a user are executed when the particular user logs in (from anywhere in the domain) and those configured for a computer are executed using the Local System account. The templates are available only for Windows agents.
