General

This page contains general settings for the ALVAO Asset Management.

Options:

  • Use permissions in object tree - enable if you want to control permission to individual objects in the tree. By default, this option is disabled and users' permissions to objects in the tree are controlled by their roles.

  • Create document files - enable if you want to automatically create PDF documents when creating internal handover protocols.

  • The "Generate new document" option in the handover protocol will be switched on by default - enable if you want to have enable option Generate new document in dialog of Transfer Protocol Internal when generating an internal transfer protocol.

  • Alert for installed products with "Unclassified" status - turn on if you want to control the life-cycle of software products, see product status. Installations of the sw products that were not explicitly approved will appear highlighted on the Objects - Object - Software tab.

  • Import user objects from Microsoft Entra ID - turn on to enable automatic import of users into the object tree.

  • Document attachments to store - select where to store the generated handover protocols internally.

    • To database - the documents will be stored in the Alvao database.
    • To a shared folder (not recommended) - documents will be saved to a shared folder on disk. Specify the path to the folder. Network paths can also be used (e.g.\\server\doc).

  • Default object type for computers - select an object type of computer, that will be used as the default object type when importing new computers and no object type is specified, e.g, by the device object type setting.

  • State the domain name in computer names (FQDN) - enable if you want to track computers from multiple domains. The domain name will then also be listed in the name of computers in the object tree.

    This option controls the creation of new computers in the tree by scanning with the AM Agent, importing from AD, and by scanning the network.

    After changing this option, the next time you import computers from AD, the previously imported computers in the tree will be automatically renamed. But the network scan will create new computers with new names in the tree.
