Predefined reconciliation rules

To create an asset import job for the first time, Control Compliance Suite provides predefined rules. You can use the predefined rules for importing the assets for the first time without creating custom reconciliation rules.

See Asset folder hierarchy.

See About organizing objects in the directory.

See Creating the asset folders.
