Manufacture Date Mapping

Like ChromeOS mapping, you can set up rules to automatically apply Manufacture Dates to assets. This is useful for applying dates across large numbers of assets at once. Assets are usually procured in waves — you buy many similar computers at the same time — so it’s often convenient to set the same Manufacture Date for all of them.

Create a New Mapping Rule

Build rules in the create section. You can have as many rules as you like. The first rule that matches an asset is the one applied.

Organize Existing Rules

Reorder rules by dragging and dropping; the first match wins, so order matters.
Save the reorder at the bottom of the list.
Delete any rule that’s no longer useful — deletion is irreversible.

Find Unmatched Make/Model Combinations

Use the Display list button to see assets whose make/model combinations don’t match any Manufacture Date rule, so you can add coverage for them.

Common Questions

Why automate Manufacture Dates?
Assets are bought in waves; one rule can date a whole batch at once.

What if several rules match an asset?
The first matching rule (by order) is applied. Drag to reorder.

How do I find assets with no date rule?
Use the Display list button to list unmatched make/model combinations.

Manufacture Date Mapping

Use rules to automatically apply Manufacture Dates to assets in bulk — useful since assets are usually bought in waves.
