After you select the location or zone, you can audit assets.
About this task
When you have picked your desired location or zone for
the audit, a list of top-level assets appears. To audit the top-level
asset, such as a Rack, scan the tag for that asset. Once that tag
is read and if there are children assets, a new screen comes up showing
the details of those children.
The screen uses both colors and
icons to represent status changes in the assets.
- Red means that the tag of a top-level asset or one of its children
is missing.
- Yellow means that the tag of a top-level asset or one of its children
is broken.
- Green means that the tag of the asset was read and all its children
assets have been either found, or set as missing or broken.
- Blue means that an unexpected asset tag was found.
- Gray means that the tag of a previously missing asset was found.
If a childless item is read then that item will turn green
to signify that the asset has been read correctly. For assets with
children, the color does not change to green until all its children
assets are either found or are set as missing or broken.
Procedure
- Read the tag IDs of a top-level assets using the handheld
device. If the asset cannot be found, you should mark it
as missing or broken.
Mark an asset as broken if the tag cannot
be read. Mark it as missing if the asset cannot be found.
If
an asset is found in an unexpected location, you can either ignore
the read as erroneous or choose to update the asset location. If you
update the location, then the asset is flagged in the Review
Audit screen in Asset Inventory Management Services for WebSphere® Sensor Events.
- Read the tag IDs of the children assets for that top-level
asset.
- Repeat the previous steps until the audit is complete.
Results
When all top-level items have been accounted for, the application
then returns to the location screen, marking the last location green.
The audit for that location is now complete.
After a top-level
asset is considered complete, you can only view the list of child
assets by selecting View Assets. You can also
choose to see More Info about an asset to display
its tag ID and attribute information as defined in Asset Inventory Management Services for WebSphere Sensor Events.
Once
all the assets are marked as audited, the application displays a completed
screen, and you can submit your results.
What to do next
Transmit the audit results to Asset Inventory Management Services for WebSphere Sensor Events:
- Navigate to .
- Dock the handheld device.
- When the active synchronization is connected, select Start to
send the results to the server.
