Create a resource value record

Create a resource value record for each software model for which you want to calculate licensing requirements.

Before you begin

Role required: sam_admin

Navigate to Workspaces > Software Asset Workspace > License operations > Resource Value.
Select New.
On the form, fill in the fields.

Field	Description
Name	Name of the resource value.
Software model	Software model of the software product that the resource value is associated with.
Company	Company of the associated resource value record.
Location	Physical location of the associated resource value record.
Units consumed	Total number of resource value units of the associated software product that you’re currently consuming. For example, if you’re protecting 50 terabytes of data using a data protection software product, set the Units consumed field to `50`.For the Java SE software model with the Employee license metric, the Units consumed field must be set to the number of employees consuming the licenses.
Department	Department that the resource value record is assigned to.
Cost Center	Cost center that is financially responsible for the resource value.

Select Save.

Note: You can create multiple resource value records for the same software model and give them unique names. All the resource value records with the same software model are taken into consideration before reconciliation is run.

The resource value record that you created appears in the Resource Value list view.
