Use the Asset Management user interface to work with asset and asset types.
An asset is an instance of an asset type. The asset type defines the properties (their names, default values, and various other metadata) that a class of assets can have. An asset type can inherit from another asset type, in which case the child asset type contains all the properties of its ancestors as well as the properties it has defined for itself. The asset contains values for the properties defined by its asset type, as well as all the ancestors of its asset type.
For example, if you define an asset type called Employee, then this type could contain the properties: First Name, Last Name, and Department. Then you can define an instance of this type with a value of John for First Name, Doe for Last Name, and Software Department for Department.
