Update assets in the asset tree with different asset properties

Once you have the Asset Inventory scanning result, you can update assets in the asset tree with different asset properties. You must enter design mode to update assets in the asset tree with different properties.
To update assets with different asset properties
  1. On the
    Devices
     tab in the
    Asset Inventory
     window, select the
    Update
    option.
  2. Click the
    SYNC
    button.
    TIP:
    Clicking the
    SYNC
    button doesn't update any asset properties in the asset tree. It identifies assets in the scanning result that have different properties compared to assets on the asset tree.
    Make sure you are in design mode to proceed.
    After clicking the
    SYNC
    button, assets on the
    Devices
    tab that:
    • exist in the asset tree with the same properties appear dimmed. The check boxes before them are automatically selected.
    • don't exist in the asset tree appear dimmed. The check boxes before them are automatically cleared. You can add these assets to the asset tree using the
      Add
      option.
    • exist in the asset tree with different properties can be updated to the asset tree. The check boxes before them are available and are selected by default.
  3. Select the assets you want to update their properties to the asset tree. Click the Asset Inventory update
    button
    on the toolbar. The
    Asset Inventory Update Asset Wizard
    dialog box opens.
  4. In the
    Asset Inventory Update Asset Wizard - Step 1 of 3
     dialog box, review the details of assets that will have their properties updated. Click
    Start
    .
  5. In the
    Asset Inventory Update Asset Wizard - Step 2 of 3
     dialog box, a progress bar is shown while the updating operation is in process. If you want to cancel the operation, click
    Cancel.
     Usually, this step takes a very short amount of time unless you are updating a large amount of assets.
  6. When the updating process is complete, you can see result of the updating operation in the
    Asset Inventory Update Asset Wizard - Step 3 of 3
     dialog box. Click
    Finish
    .
    To export the result, click
    Export
    to save the result as a .csv or .txt file.
    Assets that have their properties updated to the asset tree appear dimmed on the
    Devices
    tab with check boxes selected before them.
