Hi There,

-Basically alm_asset table is the Base table of child tables like -> 'alm_hardware' (Hardware), alm_license (License table).

-If you create a hardware record in alm_hardware table, It will also show in the alm_asset (Asset) table.

You need not to create record directly in Asset table.

For hiding the fields -

Simply create one UI policy on the table on which you want to hide the field.

With a condition of - if Model Category is 'Computer'.

Create - ui policy action to hide the necessary fields.

UI policy action - make Visible - FALSE for Serial number

Check the clear value field in UI policy action. It's a good practice to clear the value if we are hiding that field.
