Use this task to specify asset attributes that are modified by a
Change.
About this task
Asset attributes are modified in the Move/Swap/Modify dialog box. Modifying asset
attributes is one of many operations that can be performed in the Move/Swap/Modify dialog box.
To modify the attributes of assets associated with a Change, perform the following
steps during the Change implementation:
Procedure
- With the Change open in the Changes application, select Move/Swap/Modify from the Common Action menu. The Move/Swap/Modify dialog box is
displayed.
- Open the Modify tab, and then open the Asset tab. The Assets section lists all of
the assets that are associated with the Change; asset specifications, including attributes, are
displayed in the Asset Specifications section.
- With an asset row highlighted, select an attribute in the Specifications section
that you want to modify, and click Modify Attribute to display fields in which to modify the
selected attribute. For example, type a new value for the Memory attribute if the Change adds memory to a
computer.
- After you have specified all of the asset attribute modifications that apply,
click Save as Plan.
Clicking Save as Plan causes the asset to be updated as specified when
the Change moves to the COMPLETE status. Clicking Execute Now updates the asset now. Save as Plan is the preferred choice if you want to synchronize
the Change and Configuration Management processes.
