Automated creation of authorized assets and CIs

When automated creation is enabled, authorized assets and CIs are created as necessary during automated linking.

Generic assets and CIs
An automatically created authorized asset is called a generic asset. It is created during automated linking whenever an authorized asset cannot be found, matched, and linked to an authorized CI. Likewise, a generic CI is an authorized CI that is created automatically whenever an authorized CI cannot be found, matched, and linked.
Enabling automated creation of authorized assets and CIs
Automated creation is an option that must be enabled in the Classifications application before any automatic creating of authorized assets and CIs can occur. You enable automated creation whenever you want to automatically create and manage an authorized asset or CI with minimal data before one has been discovered or created manually with more complete data.
