Sheriff CSM™

Editing the Assets

You can edit your assets once they are in Sheriff CSM. For example, you can add a description or a location for your asset, or increase the asset value to indicate that certain assets are more important than the others. You can modify the same field or fields for multiple assets at the same time.

To edit your assets

1. Go to Environment > Assets & Groups > Assets.

2. Select the asset(s) you want to edit. For assistance, see Selecting Assets in Asset List View.

3. Click Actions and then Edit.

   The Edit Assets screen displays.

4. Modify the fields. For field descriptions, see Field descriptions for the New Asset and the Asset Details pages.

   Note: In addition to the General tab, you can use the Properties and Software tab, as well.

5. Click Save.

   A message displays informing you that the system has saved your changes.

   Important: All user-defined property values have higher priority than those detected by other Sheriff CSM tools, such as software inventory, HIDS, and passive or active asset discovery. The Sheriff appliances are recognized as "Sheriff OS".

   If you cannot find an appropriate field to use, you can always add a note to the asset.

To add a note to your asset(s)

1. Go to Environment > Assets & Groups > Assets.

2. Select one or more assets that you want to edit. For assistance, see Selecting Assets in Asset List View.

3. Click Actions and then Add Note.

   The Add Note screen displays.

4. Type a note and click Save.
