If a system answers during a scan but cannot be assigned to a type, it lands
in this list instead of the inventory. It is the step between a find and an
asset: every entry is either assigned a type or removed.
On the dashboard, the Unknown Systems metric with the line Typing pending
leads straight here.
Information per entry
Details opens a display-only sidebar with four fields for each row:
Missing values appear as a dash.
Editing entries in bulk
Select several rows through the checkboxes and choose Edit Systems: the
sidebar opens a form whose activated fields apply to every selected entry.
Whatever you do not explicitly activate stays unchanged.
Name and IP address cannot be set here – both are excluded from bulk
editing because they differ per system. Only shared entries are assigned:
type, environment data and similar fields.
Review a few entries through Details first – often a pattern shows up, an
address range or a device class. Then edit by that pattern instead of row by
row.
Delete removes the selected entries for good, after a confirmation.
A deleted entry cannot be restored. Delete only what you were actually able to
classify, or what demonstrably does not belong to your environment.
What the list does not show
Two things are deliberately missing here:
- The job that made the find. There is no direct reference; through
Detected On and the IP address, though, a find can be narrowed down
against the execution history
and the targets of your jobs.
- A direct type assignment per row. This page does not assign a single
system to a type; only bulk editing does that.
If a whole address range stays unknown, the cause usually lies with access,
not with this list: a target that answers but cannot be signed in to delivers
too little for a classification. Check the credentials of the job concerned
and its Last Scan Details.
Docusnap365 carries assigned systems as an asset from then on – it continues
with capturing ITAM data.
