Smart IT asset types and sub types

BMC Helix ITSM provides a number of asset types and sub types for creating an asset. Each asset sub type relates to an existing BMC Helix CMDB class. The existing asset classes and sub classes have been reorganized in BMC Helix ITSM: Smart IT to provide a more logically grouped set of asset types and sub types. This makes it easier for users to use these sub types when creating or filtering asset data.
