Creating Assets

In EmpowerID, assets are any type of hard IT resource, such as tablets, laptops and mobile phones not automatically given to users through Provisioning policies. Once you havecreated an Asset Type for the asset, you can create assets for each of the resource objects you have in inventory. This allows you to track who currently has a specific asset as well as allows users to request those assets.
