Asset Components

Components are a part of assets and cannot function as standalone items (e.g., Keyboard, scanners, bluetooth devices, etc.)

Components are classified based on IT and Non-IT devices and categorized under different product types. You can access components via the left navigation pane under Assets > All Assets > Components.
