Managing standard data

This section explains how to set up and view standard data on the BMC Discovery system. You must set up details of the specific data required by your IT organization, such as the locations, product groupings, and status values that you use. Known as standard data categories, they are typically set up at initial deployment, but you can change them later if necessary. You can view the following additional standard data from the Setup menu:

• Datastore partitions—Discrete areas of data in the datastore
• System taxonomy—Includes details about all data objects in the BMC Discovery system and the relationships between them

This topic contains the following sections:

• Setting up standard data categories
• Purging history and destroyed nodes
• Viewing the system taxonomy
