Using asset resource types
and resources
This chapter includes the following topics:

About asset type resources

Assets represent physical items, whose data is added to the Configuration
Management Database using a resource type. Asset Control tracks and manages
any asset. Each asset can be associated with a user, department, cost center, and
location.

About the computer resource type

The Computer resource type provides a large amount of built-in functionality for
managing computer resources. This resource type also integrates tightly with
data provided by Altiris Inventory Solution.
You can enter the computer data that Inventory Solution does not collect. For
example this data can be a location or a cost center. This resource type also lets
you override the data that Inventory Solution collects.
