Rationalization

The Rationalization tab displays the rationalization activity for assets. The Rationalization module provides a mechanism to consolidate multiple assets into a single asset. Typically, asset rationalization is used to consolidate multiple versions of an application into a single version but can be used for any asset type. To configure, add a Target Asset Name text or lookup alias data column to an asset type. For example, the data column Target Application Name was added to the Application asset type. Enter (or select) the Name of the target asset in the Target Asset Name field. A scheduled cron job rationalizes assets. Configure rationalization setting on the Module Settings – Rationalization page. You can choose to move attachments, history, notes and asset images to the target asset after rationalization.

Available operations:

• View the rationalization activity for the asset
