  • You can create or edit an Account Discovery job, then associate assets to the Account Discovery job via the Occurrences button.

    IMPORTANT: You must click Occurrences to associate assets to the Account Discovery job. If you do not associate the assets to the Account Discovery job, the accounts will not be found.
