Asset Groups

Motadata allows you to categorize assets in the CMDB into groups. Groups provide a convenient way to differentiate assets based on specific similarities.

Some of the benefits of using Asset Groups are:

  • Asset Groups help technicians manage assets within Configuration Management Databases (CMDBs). For example, if a technician is responsible for an asset group called 'DATA CENTER ASSETS', they can easily search for assets within that group.
  • Groups are used in Hardware Asset notifications. For example, if there is a hardware change in a specific asset group, a notification is sent to designated users.

To view the Asset Groups page, navigate to Admin > Asset Management > Asset Groups. The list page will then appear.

List Page​

The list page displays created asset groups. You can view, add, edit, and delete asset groups, as well as search and view their details.
