Selecting assets for tickets
When BMC Client Management (BCM) is enabled for a workspace, ticket forms can include sections for finding and linking to assets. If automatic asset lookup is enabled for your system, you may not need to select an asset manually as the system will find and link it for you.
If only one asset is found by the automatic lookup, a link to the asset is added to the ticket. If multiple assets are found, a dialog box appears where you can select assets.

- Open the ticket where you want to add links to assets.
- Click Add Link > Add Asset.
The Search for Asset lookup window appears. - To locate the asset or assets that you want linked to this ticket:

- In the Keyword field, enter a search string and click the magnifying glass icon.
