Audit your hardware assets by using Asset Attestation

Improve the asset utilization by auditing the hardware assets assigned to your employees and validating if the employees are using the assigned assets.

As an Asset manager or an Inventory administrator, you can create an asset attestation in any of the following ways:

• Create an asset attestation or a schedule using the playbook
• Create an asset attestation in the Inventory view.
• Create an asset attestation schedule.
• Create an attestation for a hardware asset

Important: Starting with Hardware Asset Management version 13.0.0, the playbook is the default option for the creation of asset attestations and schedules. However, if you set the value of the sn_itam_common.enable_asset_attestation_playbook system property to false with the asset or inventory_admin role, you will be shown forms to complete the attestation process instead of the playbook.

As an employee, you can confirm the assets assigned to you in any of the following ways:

• Confirm the assigned assets using the Now Mobile app.
• Confirm the assigned assets on the Employee Center portal.

For more details, see Asset Attestation.
