You can schedule one or more Asset Discovery jobs to run automatically against the directories or network (IP range) you have added to SPP. The assets in the scope of the discovery job may include assets that were previously added (manually) to the Safeguard partition. For more information, see Adding an asset.

If you use Directory as the asset discovery Method, directory assets that are shared can be discovered into any partition. To share a directory asset, select Available for discovery across all partitions for the asset; see Management tab (add asset).

When an Asset Discovery job runs, the found asset is added to Assets. If the operating system cannot be detected in the Asset, Network Scan or Directory method of asset discovery, the Linux operating system is applied which you can modify later.

For more information, see Asset Discovery job workflow.
