In the asset system, asset import involves the import of the following data:

• Data for the common fields

  Common fields are the fields that are common across all the asset types.

  See Common fields for all asset types.

  The data for the common fields is imported from the CSV data collector.

• Data for the asset-specific fields

  Asset-specific fields are the fields that are specific to the asset type that you select to import.

  See Predefined asset types.

  The data for the asset-specific fields is imported from the default data collector.

Go through the following concepts to perform the asset import more effectively:

• Default data collectors

• Data collectors and asset types

• Asset field filters

• Filter statement operators

• Asset reconciliation

• Manual review
