These types are not created by a scan. You create them by hand to give the inventory its organizational frame. You create Locations as environment data under Administration › Environment Data › Locations, not as assets. See Manage Environment Data.

Organization

Six types map how the business works and what it uses and holds: Business Service, Process, Department, Person, Application and Information. All six carry only a name; their value lies in the relations you draw from them to the inventoried technology.
Person connects the organization to the accounts: every Docusnap365 user is also tracked as a person, but not every person has a user account.
The scan finds installations, not applications—that a database, an application server and a web frontend run on three servers does not yet say they form one application together. Application is therefore not the same as Software Product, see Software and Integrations. And a server is not protected for its own sake, but for the Information on it: only recorded separately can its different protection needs be told apart.
This level is the foundation for protection needs in the ISMS—the technology comes from the scan, its meaning from this level. How you set the organization and location assignment when creating an asset is described in Creating Assets. The protection needs built on this level are described in ISMS.
