Specifying assets |
You use the Assets
tab to specify modifications to your asset records as a result of an implemented
change. For example, you can:
If you use Tivoli Change Management with Tivoli Asset Management, an Assets tab appears in the Change dialog box. If you are not using Tivoli Asset Management, the Assets tab does not appear. Tivoli Change Management shares many assets-related dialog boxes with Tivoli Asset Management.
