3.6 Using the Portable Collector

The Portable Collector is a standalone application that is used to inventory devices that rarely
connect to the server or devices that do not have the ZENworks Adaptive Agent installed. This data
can then be imported into the Inventoried device list. When the data is imported, you can view and
edit it just as you would an inventoried device. The Portable Collector can be run on Windows and
OSX devices. The procedure is as follows:
1. Create the Portable Collector.
2. Run the Portable Collector on a device.
3. Copy the inventory data to a portable media.
4. Upload the inventory data into ZENworks Control Center.
