1. In Application Navigator, oepn "Asset". In the example below, I'm going to change Model category of if Lenovo ThinkServer TD230 From Windows Server to Linux Server.
2. Right click on the asset to change and select "Copy sys_id". Here, I've right clicked on "P1000196".
3. Next, find sys_id of Linux Server model category.
I'm just filtering list asset on "linux" to bring a record that has "Linux Server". Any record will do.
4. Open the record and right click on the header section and select "Copy sys_id". This is the sys_id of model category "Linux Server".
5. From Application Navigator, search and open "Script - Background".
6. Enter the script. Enter the sys_id of linuxModelClass and assetId as was found
from the above steps. After updating the script, click on "Run script".
7. Result of execution is displayed.
8. Check Asset list to make surethe Model category changed to Linux Server.

Could the asset model category be changed with a "Data Management" job?
Thinking this would be handy if you had to move a number of assets from one Model Category to another.

Hello @David77 ,
Yu can right a fix script and run it for larger number of records. Also, In future you just need to change the value of model categorie) to use the script.
Thanks!

Yes, I've used scripts to do this in the past, but prefer to use Data Management if it works.
