[edit] Overview

AuditWizard can organize the assets on your network either by the domains of which they are a member or using a user defined location structure to more accurately reflect the topography of your organization.

The user defined location structure consists of a multi-level tree with an unlimited number of nodes with a maximum depth of 10 allowing even the most complex organizational structures to be modelled.

[edit] Adding a New Location

  3. Enter a name in the Location Name field. The names at the same level must be unique; however this is not necessary within different branches of the tree. For example, London may have Marketing Department and so may Tampa.
  4. Optional: One or more ranges of IP addresses can be specified for the location. By associating IP addresses with a location, AuditWizard can automatically relocate a newly audited asset to the appropriate location based on its IP address.
    1. Click the Add button. The Add/Edit TCP/IP Address Range dialog will open.
    2. Enter start and end IP addresses and click the OK button. Note that multiple IP ranges can be set.
