Working with lists of assets and asset records

The list view provides ways to easily organize, locate, and manage assets and asset records. Assets represent things that are of value to your organization. You can search the assets and records you need to help you quickly understand the data and take data-driven action.

The Asset Manager app requires a subscription to IT Risk Management (previously ITRMBond) or Third Party Risk Management (previously ThirdPartyBond).

How to navigate to an asset list?

You can navigate to an Asset List by selecting the asset type from the Asset Manager's home page.

The home page offers the following asset types:

  • All assets includes all assets, comprising both IT and third-party assets.
  • IT assets includes all IT assets such as information system, hardware, cloud, and software.
  • Third-party includes exclusively third-party assets.

Simply choose the desired asset type to organize and manage assets within that category using the options below.

How to navigate to a record list?

Filter and sort asset and asset records

You can efficiently filter and sort in the Asset Manager app to locate the data you need.

Filtering assets and records

Note

In certain columns, you have the option to select blank from the dropdown list. This choice filters the asset list to display entries with no values for that specific column. Note that choosing blank prevents the selection of any other option within the dropdown list, even though it is a multi-select field.

Removing filters

  1. To remove filters from individual columns Under the column you want to remove the filter, click the filter dropdown list and do one of the following and click Apply Filter:
    • Clear the options you want to remove individually, or

Sorting assets / records

  1. Navigate to the asset list / record list.

Note
  • You can apply sorting to two columns at a time.
  • Sorting is not available for user lookup columns such as Business Owner and Technical Owner.

Searching assets and records

In addition to filtering and sorting, you can perform keyword searches in the Search field across all columns.
