Asset Fields

The Scanner Generator provides several predefined standard field types that indicate to which hardware field the asset field is mapped.

• The following table lists the special standard asset fields:

  Note It is strongly recommended to include these fields in your list of asset fields.

  Field	Description
  Description	Can be configured to contain a brief description of the machine being scanned. Default: Combination type. It combines information from several hardware and asset fields. When loading data from scans into the analysis tools (Analysis Workbench and Viewer), the contents of the Description field are displayed for each scan file to help identify it.
  Asset Tag	Contains a unique identifier for the machine being scanned. It is normally populated from a sequence of hardware fields such as MAC Address, Serial Number or Asset tag. The asset number entered in this field is used to name the off-site scan file.
