1. Adding assets

There are different ways of adding your assets to Autobahn Fit:

1. Upload: You can manually upload assets to the Autobahn Fit platform through the Upload function. Read the article Upload your assets for more information.
2. Integrate: Collect asset data from various cloud providers seamlessly through the Integration function. Visit the Integrations guide page to see a list of applications that can be integrated.
3. Discover: Autobahn Fit asset discovery engine discovers your internet-facing assets and displays them on the Discover assets page. Visit the Discover your assets article for more information.

2. View and customize the asset table

The Assets table shows a list of all your devices and related details.

• Asset: This is the name of the host.
• IP address: This is a unique identifier assigned to each device on your network.
• Domain name: This is the user-friendly website address instead of the numerical IP address.
• Network: Denotes in which network the asset is found. This can be Internet for external assets, Default Internal if your internal network isn't segmented, or a specific network name it it's segmented (e.g. Lab)
• Source: Where the asset has been found (i.e. manual upload, cloud integration, or discovery)
• Last scan: The last time the asset was scanned.
• Criticality: You can rate how important each device is to your operations (high, medium, low).
• Assignee: Assign a team member to be responsible for a specific device.
• Tags: Add labels to categorize your devices by location, department, function, etc. This helps you filter and find assets easily.

To customize the table click the Column View button on top of the table.

By default all data will be checked (displayed), which means all columns will be displayed on the table. Untick the checkbox to hide the column from the table, then click the OK button to save the selection.

The columns on the table will be updated according to your selected data, and will be visible only to yourself.

5. Tag your assets

In Autobahn Fit, asset tags function as a critical organizational tool for managing your device inventory. Assigning relevant tags to your assets allows for:

• Enhanced searchability: Categorize devices by department, location, function (e.g., technology type), or criticality. This facilitates efficient filtering and retrieval of specific asset groups.
• Targeted reporting: Leverage tags to tailor reports to your specific needs. Generate reports focusing on critical assets in a particular location, or those within a designated technology category.

Tags are fully customizable, so you can adapt them to your organizational structure.

1 - After you select the assets, click on Edit Tag.

2 - Click the Add Tags or Remove tags button on the drawer. A field to select or input new tags will appear.

6 - Click on Apply to apply the changes. The edit tags drawer will be closed. The changes will be reflected in the All Asset table.

6. Delete assets that you want to exclude

If any assets do not belong to your organization or are no longer important to you, you can delete them from your asset inventory. To delete your assets:

1 - Select assets you want to delete by ticking the checkbox on the left side of the asset, then click the Delete button on top of the table.
