You can merge two assets, and you can merge two contracts. You cannot merge
an asset and a contract. The resources that you merge do not have to be of the
same data type. For example, you can merge a Printer with a Network Printer.
Associations from the resource that is not kept are transferred to the resource
that is kept. If there is more than one of the same type of association, the older
association is deleted.
You can use tasks to automate recurring resource merges.
A data class that a user adds to a resource type cannot be used as a merge key.

CMDB Solution can be configured to automatically set the location of an asset
based on the subnet that is associated with the asset.
Update Network Resource Location uses the subnet that is assigned to a location
through the location resource type. Then, based on the subnet of an asset that is
determined through Inventory Solution, the location of the asset is assigned.
The task can be run manually or on a schedule. Some situations require the task
to run once to set the location, and then you manually maintain the asset location
data. Other situations require the task to run regularly. You might want to make
a collection of assets to exclude from the task. For example, the laptop computers
of users who travel to different locations frequently.
