Using configuration items
for assets
This chapter includes the following topics:
About asset configuration item types
Assets are defined as any property or object of value that your company or business
owns. To track an asset, you create a configuration item to represent it in the
system. Asset Management Suite provides predefined configuration item types
for many types of assets. We recommend that you use only the predefined types,
but you can create new item types, if required.
The following is a list of predefined asset item types grouped into their respective
categories.
Note: These categories contain some configuration item types that do not qualify
as assets, such as Power, Services, Site, and so on.
