We have introduced the concept of Asset Type Hierarchy to make cataloging of Assets simple. It is a predefined catalog of Asset Types, which serves the purpose of giving you a generic umbrella term for every Asset in the CMDB.

Motadata allows you to add custom Asset Sub-Types in the Asset Type Hierarchy. You can create sub-types up to two levels.

To add an Asset Type:

  • Go to Admin (A Navigation Tab) >> Asset Types (Asset Management).
