You can search for assets that are already in the system
and then perform certain operations with the assets shown in the results.
Users with asset management permission can perform this task.
Procedure
- Log in to the Asset Inventory Management Services for WebSphere® Sensor Events application.
- Click .
- Select the asset type from the Item Type menu. When you choose the Item Type, the Property section
of the screen generates more fields specific to the item type selected.
- Populate the rest of the fields.
In the Item section
the following fields are available:
- RFID Tag ID: Input the tag ID. If the tag
ID is entered, none of the item properties are used for searching.
Tag ID is a more accurate way of finding items.
- Items without Tag-IDs: Check this to return
only items that do not have any assigned tag IDs and that also comply
with the other search criteria.
- Search by Status: Choose from the following:
MISSING, DELETED, or ACTIVE
In the Property section, you can filter
using values for any attributes of the selected item type. For example,
you can narrow the search by filling in specific values in one or
more property fields. The assets returned by the search will match
those values.
- Click Submit to complete the search,
or click Reset to restore the form to its defaults
and start over. The search results will be displayed
based on your input search criteria.
