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