# Asset & CI Utilities

This is a set of 3 simple utilities created to help make the management of CI and Asset relationships easier.

ServiceNow places restrictions on modifying Model Categories after initial creation - they don’t let you update the Asset class or CI class at all!

[This application](https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/share/contents/9326002_asset_and_ci_utilities?t=PRODUCT_DETAILS) provides a user-friendly way to run scripts in the background that update model categories, bypassing ServiceNow’s OOB restrictions.

It also provides for easily creating CIs for all of the Assets in a particular category.

It’s a set of 3 simple utilities created to help make the management of CI and Asset relationships easier.

Use at your own risk, as this violates ServiceNow’s design for Asset & CI Categories - however I’ve personally found this to be an extremely useful tool when working to improve a client’s Asset Management implementation.

## Quick-start guide:

- Install update set
- Look for “Asset and CI Utils” in the left hand navigation.
