When you start working with the ITAM App, there are two ways to enter initial values to reflect the current state of your company’s internal assets:
- Manual Entry
- Data Import Tools (e.g., Import Wizard, Data Loader)
You can add all the assets manually or through import tools, initially assigning yourself as the owner.
Then, you can create asset transfers to assign the correct owners for each asset. This method increases your hands-on experience with the ITAM App and gives you complete control over the data being entered. We recommend this approach if you currently have a small number of assets.
To manually input or upload asset units with the appropriate statuses and owners, you should enable the Input Initial Values Mode. This Mode temporarily disables validations, allowing for a smoother data entry process.
- To enable the Input Initial Values Mode go to Settings
- Enable the Input Initial Values Mode
Input Initial Values Mode will be disabled automatically at midnight.
