13.2 Adding Demographic Data to Purchase
Records
Adding demographic data to purchase records is optional. You need to do so only if you want to do
either of the following:
Use the purchase record data to create the list of demographics (for example, Site1,
CostCenterA, or Department12) to which licenses can be allocated. When you allocate
licenses, you can only allocate them to sites, departments, and cost centers that already exist in
device or purchase record data.
Use the Initialize Allocations Wizard to create a licensed product's initial demographic
allocations based on the demographic data in the purchase records. For example, assume that
you are initializing license allocations for ProductA based on the Department demographic.
PurchaseRecord1 includes 10 ProductA licenses assigned to DepartmentQ. PurchaseRecord2
includes 20 ProductA licenses assigned to DepartmentZ. The wizard allocates 10 licenses to
DepartmentQ and 20 licenses to DepartmentZ.
If all your license allocations will use the same demographic (Site, Department, or Cost Center), you
can assign only that demographic data to each purchase record. For example, if all demographic
allocations are going to be Department allocations, you only need to assign a department to each
purchase record. If you will have a mixture of demographic allocations, you should assign a site,
department, and cost center to each purchase record.
To add demographic data to an existing purchase record:
1 In ZENworks Control Center, click the Asset Management tab.
2 On the License Management page, click Purchase Records.
3 Click the purchase record to which you want to add demographic data.
