Defines the source from which the asset\user is collected and the information is displayed in the DSM Explorer. The source can be a CA ITCM agent or an Asset Collector.

Defines the trustworthiness of an asset\user and displays the information in the DSM Explorer. Trust level is displayed as a range of 1 to 5 stars, 5 being the most trustworthy. For Asset Collector, you can configure the trust level in the inventory file or in the Asset Collector configuration policy. As the inventory information collected by the Asset Collector is initiated by a manual process, the reliability of the information may be low. Consequently, the information collected by the Asset Collector has the trust level of 3 by default. The information collected by the CA ITCM agents has the trust level of 5.
