Operation Procedure

1. Select the User tab, and in the navigation tree of Desktop Asset Manager, click the link of a group name under All Assets to enter the page which displays the assets in a group.
2. You can query for an asset by its asset number, asset name, and owner.
3. Click Query to display the desired assets in the current group. To restore the default query condition, click Reset.

Precautions

• If you do not want to set a field as a query condition, leave it blank.
• Leaving all fields blank returns all assets.
• The query result only displays the assets in the specified group.
• If you clear the selection of an advanced query criterion, you reset the query parameter settings for the criterion.
• The advanced query criteria, except the By Query criterion, support fuzzy matches. The By Query criterion supports only exact matches of case-insensitive patch names. For example, both k911564 and K911564 match the same patch , but you cannot match the patch using part of the name, such as 9115. To match the query assets by other criterion, you can provide part of the information. For example, to query assets using Windows Internet Explorer 8, you can input Windows or Internet in the By Software section.
