Collection Page

This page enables you to select the type of computer data to collect.

Important information

  • The selections you make on this page determine which of the data detail pages are displayed.
  • When carrying out initial scanner deployments you might want to use hardware and asset data collection to establish basic information for the target machine. This can be followed up later by a more comprehensive scan that includes software data.
  • General information about this wizard is available in Scanner Generator Wizard.
