You can promote computers to assets directly from the Computers
application. You can also automate promotion of computers by specifying
promotion default values and setting up an escalation to promote the
computers.
Specifying promotion defaults for computers
In the Computers application, you can specify defaults
to use when computer 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 Computers application unless you specify a different
set of parameters when you manually promote the deployed assets.
Promoting computers to assets from the Computers application
You can select one or more computers to promote to authorized
IT assets using the Promote to Asset option
in the Select Action menu in the Computers
application. The promotion process creates authorized IT asset records
in the Assets application using data from the computer records.
Setting up escalations for computer promotion
You can automate promotion of computers to IT assets using
escalations. When you set up the escalation process, you first set
default values in the Computers application. Then, in the Escalations
application, you specify which instances to promote and when to perform
escalations.
Setting up escalations to exclude partitions
If you want to promote only computers without the partitions,
you must modify the WHERE clause in the Condition field
for the PROMOTECOMP escalation. By default, the PROMOTECOMP escalation
promotes both computers and partitions.
