Exporting Asset Types

Asset types are templates that specify what information is required for each hardware or software asset you want to record. For example, you can define an asset type for printers that holds information on where the printer is located, its name and model information and so on. The assets database enables you to export asset types defined in one Site database so you can easily distribute standard asset type definitions throughout your organization.

To export asset types:

1    In the Assets database File menu, choose Export Asset Types. The Export Asset Types dialog is displayed.

2    Enter a Filename for the file, or click the browse button to specify a file and location.

3    In the Delimiter list, select the character you want to use as a field separator. Note that you should select a character that is not already used in an asset type.

4    If you want to add explanatory information to the export file, select Add header and enter the information in the text field.

5    Click OK to close the dialog and export the information.
