About containers |
When you edit information
about an asset
in the Edit Asset dialog box, you can
designate the asset as a container.
A container is an asset that contains other assets. When you designate an asset as a
container, you select other assets to be included within it. Containers work in a hierarchical manner. Any asset can be a container for other assets. One container's assets, in turn, can each contain other assets. Suppose, for example, that you are editing an asset (a computer) whose asset category is "Workstation." The workstation has its own asset tag, but you can indicate that other assets reside within the workstation. The workstation, therefore, becomes a container that includes such assets as a keyboard, a mouse, a monitor, a CPU, and a multimedia kit. The multimedia kit may also be a container, including such assets as a sound card, speakers, and a microphone. Note: When you add contents to a container, you can use only assets that already exist in the database. |
