Customizing Hardware Inventory Operations

The hardware inventory operations collect hardware asset information from Clients, such as network shares, drive sizes, and video settings. The information can then be displayed or saved in the Site database. Use the Customize Hardware Inventory dialog to customize an Update Hardware Inventory operation.

To display the Customize Hardware Inventory dialog, right-click a hardware inventory operation and choose Customize from the shortcut menu. The Customize dialog contains the following tabs:

General

Names and describes the operation. It also enables you to specify a default Scheduler for the operation, and where the operation is displayed in the Console.

Hardware

Specifies how the operation treats inventory results.

Reporting

Generates a report from the inventory results.
