Bulk Asset Activation by Rule

You can automate the activation of assets by creating an asset activation rule. This ensures that assets within the scope are activated automatically.

Activate assets in bulk by creating a QQL-based or a tag-based rule. The assets are activated after the rule is executed. 

The tiles on the Asset Activation Workflow tab indicate the assets discovered by various sources, such as EASM Unmanaged Assets, CAPS Unmanaged Assets, Newly Discovered Assets, and so on. 

To create a rule, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Configuration > Asset Activation Workflow tab.
