You can promote network devices to assets directly from
the Network Devices application. You can also automate promotion of
network devices by specifying promotion default values and setting
up an escalation to promote the devices.
Specifying promotion defaults for network devices
In the Network Devices application, you can specify defaults
to use when network device data is used to create authorized IT asset
records. The default promotion values are used when you promote assets
automatically through scheduled escalations. They are also used when
you promote assets in the Network Devices application unless you specify
a different set of parameters when you manually promote the deployed
assets.
Promoting network devices to assets from the Network Devices application
You can select one or more network devices to promote to
authorized IT assets using the Promote to Asset option
in the Select Action menu in the Network Devices
application. The promotion process creates authorized IT asset records
in the Assets application using data from the network device records.
Setting up escalations for network device promotion
You can automate promotion of network devices to IT assets
using escalations. When you set up the escalation process, you first
set default values in the Network Devices application. Then, in the
Escalations application, you specify which instances to promote and
when to perform escalations.
